Bay Area Coalition for Veggie School Lunches Now Being Formed!If you are a parent, student, educator, food service worker, manufacturer,medical professional or community leader interested to see healthyvegetarian meals introduced and served in your neighborhood schoolcafeteria, now is the time to make your voice heard. We are forming a BayArea Coalition for Healthy School Lunches that will launch an excitingpublic awareness campaign and work within schools for change. Initialmeetings will be held by conference call. Live in another county or area of California?Food Service from San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Santa Clarita Valleyand several more school districts have asked for more information aboutintroducing veggie options on their lunch lines. More than 50 PTA's haveexpressed similar interest. If you would be interested to help form a localcoalition to galvanize interest, we would like to speak with you. These coalitions are being formed as a follow-up effort to the passage of the Healthy School Lunch Resolution in California, which asks all California schools to offer a vegetarian lunch option on the daily menu. You can read more about the resolution, including the list of endorsers, at http://www.soyhappy.org/schoolrez.htm The follow up effort for veggie lunches in schools is being led by the national organization called CHOICE, Consumers for Healthy Options in Childrens' Education. http://choiceusa.net For more information and meeting times for the Bay Area Coalition, or to become involved in your own county, please contact CHOICE Director, Susan Wieland at info or 1-877-6CHOICE.
