This past week, Scott and I watched a new show on ABC called, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. I am SO encouraged about this show! And I am in shock that it is on television. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. One thing that I am passionate about is providing healthy food to kids and that is exactly what this show is promoting.
In line with that, I found this campaign online that I wanted to share with you. Can you even imagine how much healthier our children would be if they had daily access to real food in our school’s cafeterias??? Food that wasn’t laden with artificial chemicals and preservatives. Food without corn syrup, corn fillers, msg. And food with colors other than brown. Maybe one day this will be a reality for the US. I certainly hope and pray that it will be some day.
