The Politics of School Food Conference
Concerned about what your kid is eating in school? Let me guess – they offer cheese burgers, pizza and other crap without a single piece of greenery in sight – well, maybe some anemic looking iceburg lettuce on a sandwich.
Want to learn more about the politics of school food? Check out this fantastic conference put together by the New York Coalition for Healthy School Foods, and sponsored by Whole Foods. They are a fantastic organization working to help get healthier plant based options offered in schools in New York state. Reservations are due tomorrow! And students go for 15 bucks (and that includes a healthy lunch)
