Wow

Denise...as my Olde Wheat Barn buddy, you will love this!!!!!

I came across this video of a lady named Ann Cooper. She is part of the California/Berkely school district, and is over the school lunch program. She managed to take their menu of corndogs, pizza, and chicken nuggets and turn the ENTIRE program into one that uses organic, local, and self sustaining farmed foods. Considering we had corndogs for our first day back at school, I know we are far from being here. She mentions facts/statistics/and figures that will make any parent, or human that eats in America, realize how big of a problem it is.

The video is 20 minutes long, but she manages to prove points taht would take another person hours! I love her! I hope you check it out...
