Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hi SFBaVeg, I'm working with PCRM to get healthy, non-dairy vegetarian meals and non-dairy beverages into the Child Nutrition Act (CNA) during it's renewal this year. We need people to meet with members of Congress to convince them that this is a smart choice to back. I'm looking specifically for people who live in Congresswoman Barbara Lee's district (here is a map of her district: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ca09_109.gif. It's Oakland, Berkeley, and parts of a few other cities, including Castro Valley). I'm having an important meeting with Barbara Lee's office in downtown Oakland next Thursday, July 17th, at 11 am and I need people to be there! Anyone who is passionate about the issue is welcome to attend and we're particularly looking for teachers, educators, parents, nutritionists, dietitians, doctors, nurses, and other health experts. These meetings really do make a difference and we have the opportunity to speak out for animals and children at the same time. Can you imagine how amazing it would have been to have healthy vegetarian food as an option for school lunch? Let's make this a reality for kids across the nation! The meeting will take about 30 minutes. All you have to do show up and make a short statement about how children would benefit from access to more fruits and vegetables, non-dairy vegetarian meals and non-dairy beverages. If you want more information about the campaign, you can either email me back or check out www.healthyschoollunches.org. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and please let me know if you (or anyone you know!) can attend or if you have any questions. Best, Laura Beck lbeck (415) 832 9113 p.s. If you can't make the meeting but are interested in writing a letter of support, please let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
