Reading
Mark Bittman has a great piece in the Times of the food crusaders that he's thankful for (Ann Cooper) and other things that have gone right (The re-authorization of the Child Nutrition Act) in food politics amongst so much that has gone wrong.

Better DC School Food has more to say about the Great Pizza Is A Vegetable debate pitting lobbyists against your kids.
Watching
