The Food Revolution: Want the real scoop on what's on your child's school lunch plate?

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution




Excerpt from Food Revolution Home Page:

When kids drink chocolate and strawberry milk every day at school, they're getting nearly two gallons of extra sugar each year. Too much sugar is threatening the health of our kids and we've got to do something about it. Support this campaign asking schools to choose plain milk, and make the sweetened varieties an occasional treat

p.s. Still don't understand why our high school athletes don't have access to free water in school lunch lines...oh, wait, yes I do.  It's because the Federal government see no nutritional value in water and won't reimburse your child's school lunch program if it is offered.  But they can choose between four types of cow's milk...including chocolate.  Last time I checked they don't run off the football field, basketball court, our pitcher's mound looking for a milk bottle.
