Willard School in Berkeley offers veggie cooking classes to kids

November 27, 2001

in the previous article, I posted a few minutes ago,

it wrote about:

" In the 16-school Berkeley Unified School District,

food purchasers have taken it one step further, buying

organic produce whenever possible and purchasing

veggies primarily from local farmers. One Berkeley

school, Willard Elementary, even serves lettuce and

carrots from the school garden. "

Susanne Jensen, a professional cook, teaches kids how

to cook vegan foods. The class is not only a cooking

class but also teaches kids on safety in the kitchen:

no running, turn off the stove, knife safety, etc..

The above skills are basic skills all kids should know

to survive.

Below are my ramblings on Berkeley.

Berkeley Schools REALLY cares about their kids. No

pesticides are allowed or sprayed near school ground.

Now, isn't that great? Please pass this info to your

kid's school. Some projects are not easy or free.

They require grant money and dedicated people.

The City of Berkeley is ahead of most city. All

restaurants can not use syrofoam.

Schools and everybody don't want to spend money on

organic foods. If EVERYONE buys organic, prices will

drop dramatically.
