A New School Food Agenda
A New School Food Agenda
"We have never tried to design a school food program with our children's health ... as its central goal," argues Janet Poppendieck. Her new book, Free for All: Fixing School Food in America (University of California Press, 2010) skillfully dissects the history and politics of school food, shows how we got to where we are, and offers a practical vision for fundamental change. In this excerpt, she points to signs of growing sophistication about school food (including the work of the Center for Ecoliteracy) as the basis for a national conversation.
