Dear Food Revolutionary,
Huge news! Last night on the Jimmy Kimmel show, Superintendent of Los Angeles Unified School District John Deasy announced to Jamie that he's going to recommend that LA schools stop serving sugar-filled flavored milks in school!
Amazing! And it couldn't have happened without your hard work and support.
This just shows that when thousands of us come together to demand for better for our kids, people WILL listen. When the TV cameras go away the Food Revolution will still be there as a powerful grassroots movement working for better school food across the country, but it takes lots of people joining in together to make it happen.
This is a huge moment to show all your friends what this movement is about. Will you take a quick moment to share Jamie's petition with 2 friends and invite them to join us?

Food Revolutionaries sent thousands of letters to the new Superintendent and board of the Los Angeles Unified School District asking him to step up and make some real changes to the school food, and he got our our message.
Grassroots pressure from members of the Food Revolution in Los Angeles helped push the superintendent to decide to bring back plain milk, and this success can happen in every city for every school in America -- by building local networks of everyday people who want better for our kids in school, and who will take actions large and small to show it.
Flavored milk is just one change we can make to give better nutrition to our kids; there are still donuts for breakfast and chicken nuggets for lunch that aren't doing well for our kids' health. To make these changes all across America, we need to continue to build this powerful grassroots movement so that we will have a voice for better food in every city, in every school. You can help by simply inviting your friends to join and sign Jamie's petition.

All of us coming together can prove to the superintendents everywhere that we're willing to stand up for better for our kids.
Thanks for all you do,
The Food Revolution team
