RE: Digest Number 2609

[Guest guest]

Not sure if this helps, but there are usually many articles from San

Francisco schools about exiting junk food via machines tackled from a

commercialism in schools aspect, also information on cleaning up school

lunches and events. I have sent a few links to blogs, news articles, etc.

that may help. Many parents actually tackled the topic with state

representatives rather than the school, although I know that may be extreme

in your case.

 

 

 

Thanks,

Hi,

Working with our PTA's new Wellness Committee at our elementary school

we want the school system to get rid of snack items with partially

hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup. We are meeting with the

county's chief operating officer next week. He is all about the numbers

(snack sales are very lucrative). As a pilot program we have already

introduced some " healthy snacks " and shown them to be profitable.

 

If you have any information about programs where this has been done

before, suppliers of healthy snack foods (will need " cookie dough " they

can bake at the school WITHOUT the hydro oils- - it is their #1 selling

item after ICE CREAM - - and preservative free or natural ice cream)

please let me know?

 

I'm also looking for scientific studies to show the detrimental effects

on learning of additives/preservaties and just plain BAD food?

 

We are beginning a CSA at the school and want to improve the school

lunch program too, but realize we have to take babysteps.
