Healthy School Meal Served to U.S. Students & Congress
May 5: Change the Future of School Food

Three Ways to Join the Movement for Better School Food!
	Urge your legislators to eat the school meal on May 5 and learn about child nutrition. Send a letter today »
	Help the students get to DC to cook with White House chef Sam Kass at a Congressional briefing on May 5. Make a contribution »
	Forward this email to your friends and colleagues. Tweet. Add a note to your Facebook page. Help spread the word! »

May 5, 2009 – one week from today – is a day that could change the future of school food.

Please join the movement for better school food by taking action in three simple ways.

A tasty, healthy school meal designed by high school students in Chicago will be served in the Capitol Hill cafeteria and at a nearby Congressional briefing on the future of school food, where the students will prepare the meal with White House chef Sam Kass. The meal, which won first place in HSC’s Cooking up Change healthy cooking contest, will also be served to more than 40,000 students in cities across the U.S.

Please take a moment to urge your elected leaders to eat (school) lunch on May 5 and to support a strong, well-funded reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act that will make this type of healthy meal a daily reality in our nation’s schools.

Now, HSC has a short time to raise the funds for the Chicago public high school students who designed the lunch to travel to DC to prepare the meal with White House chef Sam Kass at the Congressional briefing. Can you help make this trip possible by contributing to the students’ travel? Even a small donation will help create a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students and send a powerful message to policy-makers about the need for fresh, healthy school food.

Thank you for joining this effort to change the future of school food!

Pass it on!

Soy campaign

A great deal of supermarket products contain soy. An obvious example is soy sauce, but soy is also used for the production of eggs, milk, chicken and meat. The majority (roughly 66%) of the global production of soybeans goes into cattle feed. Unfortunately, the large-scale cultivation of soybeans, especially in South America, has caused the disappearance of hundreds of square kilometres of tropical forest each year.
