Weekend Reading

Reading

Interesting article in the Crain's about the city's Department of Education efforts to get fresh - versus just cheap - foods into school cafeterias. (Thanks to Lara P. for this.)

Our food service consutant Julia van Loon sent this link to an UK-based magazine which took an extensive look at genetically modified foods.

The WSJ chronicled General Mills' effort to reduce the sugar in its cereals ...slowly.

Watching

Mrs. Q of Fed Up - where she blogged about eating school lunch every day - has finally revealed herself. Watch the Today Show segment here.

Food Day is coming up on Oct. 24 - catch Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me fame talking about it here.

Things to Do

Oyster Fest! Sat. and Sun. Take the train.

Sunday is the annual open house at the fire dept. in Glen Head near the boys and Girls Club/ soccer fields. It is Fantastic. Fire truck rides. Fire hats. Popcorn. Last year you even got to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire.
