Recently, I read about filmmaker Amy Kafala's movement to reform our schools' cafeterias. She was trying to teach her children about healthy food choices and nutritious meals but was being undermined by the school cafeteria's daily offerings of junk food to children. Amy and activist Susan Rubin started the Angry Moms movement to bring more healthy food into school cafeterias and they documented their efforts in the film Two Angry Moms.
I love this idea! Everyday, I counsel families on nutrition and healthy lifestyles, only to be disappointed to hear about what the school cafeteria serves. So, if you would like the schools to offer healthy foods and teach our children about healthy eating, check out the Angry Moms website at www.angrymoms.org. This website has nutritional information, hints for healthy lunch boxes, and healthy kids facts. If you are really motivated, you can obtain a copy of the movie and host a screening in your neighborhood.
So, let's get started on reforming our schools cafeterias and helping our kids grow up healthy!
