I also appreciate all the links to resources which you have provided. Half the battle is finding out where to go to get information. You inspire us to think small garden in our backyard for an ‘edible house’ concept. I also wanted to relay that the other day my 3rd grader came home with all kinds of ideas of how to reuse items in our house instead of throwing them away. Turns out that at his school Wednesdays are no trash days. So the goal is that items must be reused or recycled. It may not be healthy food that this school is embracing today, but I’m really excited about the Wednesday program and so is my son. Perhaps I’ll try this at home too. Thanks for sharing, Sue! And thanks again to MamaBird for that great piece! -- Lynn Hey MamaBird, that was a fantastic and interesting piece that you blogged.

I can't think of a better place to start educating children, than school lunches. I was reminded of Michael Pollan's books. He is from Berkeley also. http://lamarguerite.wordpress.com I think I need to make another trip to Berkeley. I sure have a lot more "friends" out there now than I did years ago! Thanks for stopping by, Marguerite! -- Lynn Thanks Lynn for this activist post. I can’t think of a better place to start educating children, than school lunches.
