  Yuppie Foodies and Hungry Children

  Slow Food USA is no longer an elitist fancy food club. Their motto is food that is good, clean and fair. Not so sure that the SNA would fall into alignment with that motto.

  
  

  This month, Slow Food has a membership drive that encourages folks to join with a pay what you can incentive. What does it cost to join SNA or attend their conferences? Big bucks!

  
  

  The School Nutrition Association has often been part of the problem and not the solution! Big funders of SNA such as the Corn Refiners Association and Tyson have a significant say in their platform.  Last year, the SNA held a teleconference for school lunch ladies to explain how HFCS is the same as sugar. Sorry, but the integrity of the SNA has to be brought into question.

  
  

  Before you bash Slow Food's Time for Lunch campaign, take a good look at their platform.  Investing in children's health and protecting kids from food products that put their health at risk. Where do you get off calling that "yuppie"?

  
  

  Meaningful school food reform needs to include fresh fruits and veggies that come from local and regional farmers, not a better chicken nugget.
