Several months ago, I posted about a documentary I watched called FOOD, Inc. If you saw the post, I’m sure you realized the impact the film had on me and the light it shed on the status of the ways our food is prepared here in the good old U.S. of A. If you’ve seen the documentary, I think you’d agree that it’s no surprise to hear of the many health problems that plague our nation, especially in our youth. One organization connected with the film is Slow Food USA. This organization is overseeing a program to better the lunch programs in school cafeterias across the country in order to provide fresher and healthier food for kids. If you’re interested in helping out the cause, you can contact your representative through their website or just get some more info. They provide a simple form for you to send an email and also provide a pre-written message in case you’re not sure what to say. Check it out and take part!
