The Best Coverage of School Food

There are more and more blogs appearing focused on school food. Publishing photos of school food is catching on like wildfire. But the best of them all–if I may brag on myself a little–is the one we created right here in the District of Columbia as part of Parents for Better D.C. School Food, a group dedicated to replacing the industrially-processed convenience food D.C. school children currently are being served with real food.
At the group’s blog–Better D.C. School Food–you will find photos almost daily of what the kids are eating in school, as well as an analysis of the food, how it’s prepared and what’s in it. A lot of that information flows from the week I spent in the kitchen at my daughter’s elementary school here in D.C. But we are always gathering fresh information.
The blog also carries hard-hitting articles on school food issues, such as the one we published Monday on sugar in school food, written by dentist-turned-nutritionist and “Angry Mom,” Susan Rubin.
If you want to keep up with school food, I heartily recommend you subscribe to Better D.C. School Food or add it to your Google reader. If you are interested in joining the discussion about how parents can change school food in the District of Columbia, you can join the group’s Google group. I urge every parent with a child in D.C. public schools to do that if they are at all concerned about the food being served. There’s also a Facebook page with nearly 200 members at last count, where the blog posts also appear.
