Childhood Obesity is on the rise and they are still feeding kids garbage in the schools. A recent article in _The Nation_ on September 11, 2006 has an interview by Anna Lappe of Diet for A Small Planet fame with Ann Cooper, a woman who with the help of a handful of thoughtful people, changed school lunch for the kids of Berkley, CA for the low, low, price of 18 cents a day per child. And that was for a locally grown and organic food supply. WOW! You mean, we could actually provide a healthy lunch for nearly the same price? Why, then, are we feeding our kids garbage? I think it's time we changed this and I hope you can all send me examples of good things schools are doing to change what kids are being fed for the better.
