Lunch Encounters of the Third Kind

TAKE ACTION http://www.onetray.org

"Lunch Encounters of the Third KInd" launched the One Tray campaign depicting the cafeteria tray as the conduit for a reformed school food system that supports healthy children, local farms, and smart schools. These Parent Earth and 7th Empire Media productions, Lunch Encounters, a spoof of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Priceless, a Mastercard spoof, were created by three IATP Food & Society Fellows, Shalini Kantayya, Nicole Betancourt, and Debra Eschmeyer to raise awareness for the upcoming reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act.

The videos are clear: if you want a healthier America, take action at onetray.org. Every child deserves the opportunity to eat food in school that ensures their health and well-being and Farm to School programs are one solution to incorporating healthier foods into school meals.

I wish my kids' lunch trays looked more like the post-Child Nutrition Act intervention! Great video.

HA! Fat chance. Kids go after junk foods if you give them a choice, maybe we should stop government subsidies of junk food, costs more for an apple than a hot dog and a bag of chips.
