Food is literally affecting the future of America and the planet as a whole! Yes, Food! It’s affecting our health but it’s also affecting the health of our youth, the people we love and the future of our country. It’s time we get wise about our choices and begin to realize how small changes can equal big differences. Buying from Farmers Markets is HUGE! Not only is it cheaper but the quality of food that you’re getting is far superior, locally grown (equaling a smaller carbon footprint) and last but not least you get to be friends with farmers. How cool is that? Not sure about you but I’ve always wanted to be friends with a farmer…
The food being served to our children in cafeterias throughout our nation is beyond sub-par. Soggy tater tots. Mystery meat. Fast-food pizza and refined sugar.
This is the reality of our children’s school lunches and it is time for some serious change. How to change this? Pack their lunches! Brown bag it. Remember, like we use to do when we were all kids. I know we are all So busy these days but these are the kids of our future!
There’s an amazing movement going on called Slow Food USA. Eric and I are members and huge supporters of this organization which is working to directly impact national and local food policies. From the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act to the Farm Bill, they will be building alliances, bringing in key industry experts and heading to Washington to work for change.
