Slowing Down School Lunches

Organization plans potlucks to raise awareness.

Food plays a central role in our lives. I can recall what was on the menu from dinners years ago, and I'm sure I'm not alone in associating good times with good food. But on the flip side of those fond memories is the queasy feeling I get when I walk down the frozen food aisle and glance at a package of fish sticks. The horror of school lunches immediately comes back to me. School lunches are in the spotlight every five years when the Child Nutrition Act comes up for reauthorization. The current act, which governs the National School Lunch Program that feeds more than 30 million children every school day, expires on Sept. 30 2009.
