Weekend Reading

If you'd like to read more about the things we've been blogging about - try these sites:

We have lots of information about our school's nutrition committee, what we've done, what we're trying to do and how you can help along with background information on the school lunch program at: http://www.seacliffpca.org/index.php?pr=Nutrition_Committee (just highlight, copy and paste these links)

Other bloggers are also trying to fix school lunch:
www.fedupwithschoollunch.blogspot.com -- a teacher is eating her school's lunch every day and blogging about it photos and all

www.betterdcschoolfood.blogspot.com - a chef chronicles his daughter's lunch at a DC Public School. Great background information including ingredients and photos of the food.

These blogs are relevant because we're all subject to the same USDA regulations and commodity foods.


Some new reports came out this week.
A new study on the journal Pediatrics links ADHD and pesticides - particularly those on the food we eat. Read more at www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1989564,00.html?xid=rss-topstories

The White House released its plan to combat childhood obesity. You can read it at: www.letsmove.gov/tfo_fullreport_may2010.pdf
