Thank goodness someone has looked into this subject and proposed a solution to this debacle! I can’t imagine what the long term effects of this bad nutrition are on our schoolchildren. Thanks for spreading the ray of hope, Heidi!
So glad your interested!! Please join us in improving our schools and community. I feel such an urgency to get information to people.
Keep checking back for monthly meetings!!
Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one concerned about how the school is feeding our children. I can’t wait to get involved and see a change.

Thank you!
This is great! My chiropractor’s wife, Carol. (Dr. Keller) just gave me the name of Alice Waters this morning as a resource to changing the school lunch programs at our schools. Looks like you already know of her!
Its a new year and a new chance to be healthy!
Join us in changing the culture of food.
I am sorry I have had to cancel the last meeting. My brother Peter passed away that day. My heart is so saddened by this…. however, I am back and with you, ready to make a difference. Join me.
