The Big Island (with two locations in Waimea and Waikoloa) joined 250 groups in all 50 states today in a National Day of Action to get REAL FOOD in the schools spearheaded by Slow Food USA. No more Tater Tots? No more Mystery Meat? Ahhh… such fond memories of school lunches… NOT!


I am sure the Tater Tots will be safe for a while as the task at hand is to get the U.S. Congress to change the Child Nutrition Act to dedicate enough resources for the schools to buy REAL FOOD. SIGN THE PETITION.


Our local “eat in” at Waimea School was great. The cafeteria was full and the local food was great- lots of fresh, local food prepared lovingly by many hands. Missed it? Check it out:





From Slow Food USA: Together, we are publicly rejecting the notion that our schools cant afford to feed kids anything but the bad food that makes them sick. And the way were making this statement is by bringing neighbors together in the spirit of good will and for the joy of sharing good food.


Check out the Slow Food USA National Day of Action website for interviews with Michael Pollan and others on this national movement.
The New York Times article Stars Aligning on School Lunches is also great.
