Food Politics

So good to read your article and see continued criticisms of the school lunch program. I recently reviewed the ingredients for the school food. It was shameful…still using regular margarine with trans fats, mayonnaise with hydrogenation, yogurt with high fructose corn syrup, processed cheese and so many other foods with excessive additives and preservatives. I am also concerned about the antibiotics in the milk that we give people. Information from hospital personnel who are very conerned about http://www.noharm.org. As an RD, I am trying to make a difference–voting with my fork..learning about food politics. I also feel that culinary students need information about purchasing and preparing quality fresh local foods. I teach nutrition to culinary students at Santa Barbara City College and am making some waves.
