As a kid, I never ate my lunch properly and my mom used to be worried about this. I was kinda introvert and careless about my health. Now as a 25 year old I realize the basics of health and nutrition should have been implanted into my young mind . I would have been more fit, pro-active and overall healthier than I am now!

Great article! Great cause!

And … there are even more reasons to care.
I care about school lunches because these kids are going to be the consumers of tomorrow. The majority. I want them to get used to eating good food now so that they make good, healthy, sustainable choices later… so that MY marketplace is filled with the sort of food I want to eat 20 years from now!

Baltimore City has a great local farm initiative to get fresh produce into our schools: http://www.citypaper.com/news/story.asp?id=18167

Thanks for bringing this important bill to folks' attention, Claire! Anyone who is serious about child nutrition, or reaching the President's goal of ending child hunger by 2015, needs to be involved in this debate. You can see what we here in Texas are calling for here.
