National Day of Action - 9/7/2009

Let's get REAL food in our public schools!!

National Day of Action

Slow Food USA's Time for Lunch campaign
Labor Day - September 7, 2009


Description: One potluck could help bring healthy food to all of our schools.

On September 7, 2009, people in communities across the country will gather with their neighbors for public potlucks "Eat-ins" to send a clear message to our nation's leaders: It's time to provide America's children with real food at school. This National Day of Action, a part of Slow Food USA's Time for Lunch campaign, couldn't be more timely. This fall Congress will be debating whether to update the Child Nutrition Act, the law that determines what kind of food kids eat at school. Children who grow up enjoying food that is both delicious and good for them learn healthy eating habits that last throughout their lives. Those habits can start at school, but only if we give schools the resources to serve real food instead of overly processed fast food that endangers children's health.

Sign the Time for Lunch petition and get info on holding your own potluck!!
