Weekend Reading

Reading

I find this hilarious. Food Manufacturers have gone so far in producing processed food-like stuff that many Americans no longer believe potato chips have potatoes in them. Read more about the chip industry's efforts to go "all natural". 

Mark Bittman writes for the NYT about Six Things to feel good about regarding food- and two of them reference school lunch. 

Chef Ann's blog had a great guest post describing the factors that help some school districts get school lunch right. What's interesting is that ours has gotten a lot better without help from these particular factors.
