If you're concerned about the foods served to children nationwide in their schools, then you need to know about the Two Angry Moms Amy Kalata and Susan Rubin, who both appeared last night in my the final official call of my Fast-Track, Kick-Sugar Countdown Program ™.
If you missed their articulate, impassioned remarks -- they really were wonderful interviewees and guests -- then stay tuned here, because we will let you know soon when a replay/MP3 is available.
Amy and Susan talked about a number of exciting programs across the country, some of which they are featuring in their documentary in the making.
Here's where you come in: These very talented and committed ladies need your lunch money, so I urge you to take my lead and donate now to Two Angry Moms (yes, I contributed this week to this very worthwhile project). you can view some clips here.
Just think about how powerful such a film can be!
Armed with a movie camera, Amy and Susan are visiting school cafeterias nationwide to see what foods are on the menu and what the kids are eating. They're speaking to food service vendors, teachers, health experts, politicians and parents, as well as officials from the USDA and the FDA.
They're even analyzing the contents of school lunches and they're examining the nutritional content. They're addressing what's gone wrong with our School Lunch Program. And they're coming up with some viable strategies to get real food into our nation's school cafeterias.
If you'd like to get a flavor for what they're doing, check out some preview clips here.
Sure, Amy and Susan are just two moms. But when Agricultural Secretary Susan Coombs said that it will take 2 million angry moms to change the school lunch program, the two committed women got an idea. They're now looking for 2 million angry moms.
This is where you come in! If you're here, you probably agree that our nation's kids should be able to choose wholesome, nutritious food in schools instead of all that processed, sugary, nutrient-lacking crap. Any and Susan like to say that "It's a mom. It's a movement." And they're right on.
So I invite you to donate now to Two Angry Moms. If you help them make the film, Amy and Susan will even show it in your school district.
Just think about it: Given Amy's extensive film credits and Susan's impressive background, you could be in on the ground floor of the next Super Size Me.
That's right. I'm completely convinced that these 2 million moms could make this film a huge hit. But that's just part of what all these women could do.
These 2 million moms, led by Amy and Susan, could change what's served in our nation's schools. Isn't this exciting?
So, again, I urge you to become one of the 2 million Angry Moms. (Hey, join even if you're not a mom.) We have to serve kids better foods or they could continue to gain weight, get diseases such as type 2 diabetes (formerly called adult-onset diabetes), have difficulty learning in school, have mood swings, and ultimately die at an early age.
If you are completely new to this whole subject and you're wondering why nourishing, wholesome foods should be served in schools, then listen to this wonderful quote, which I took from the website for Susan's organization, Westchester Coalition for Better School Food:
The actress/activist/junk food opponent Marilu Henner said:
"Research has shown that even small amounts of processed food alter the chemical balance in our brain and cause negative mood swings along with noticeable drips in energy."
