[Lapg] Food Justice rally on Monday

[Jennie Cook]

  HI There,  I've  a dedicated food advocate working with  a  
grassroots coalition to make some changes in the 2011 LAUSD  menus.    
We call ourselves Food for Lunch.
Really, what they're serving our kids is poison.  I know it's dramatic  
but it's true.
We've been pushing on the  flavored milk issue for several months now  
-  and decided it's time for a rally! And we have an on line petition  
- pasted below.

  I've pasted  all the information and I would love to see it go to  
the group - It's   a social justice issue in my opinion and I'm sure  
some other permies feel the same way.
  I've been a member of the listserv for a few years and I appreciate  
the work you do to keep it going! Thank you for all you do and your  
consideration in this matter.
Time for Action 2.14.11
Rally for the Health of  Our Kids
Daily chocolate milk consumption = 14 cups of sugar  a school year.
   ALMOST A GALLON OF SUGAR  toward diabetes and obesity.
We can stop the madness!
LAUSD Food Services says "if you want to get rid of the chocolate  
milk, then give us letters of support."

  Let's do it NOW!
We're rallying  and showing our support  at
Monday's Cafeteria Improvement Meeting.
Write a note, sign the e- petition,  and get the other parents and  
staff at your school to do the same in support of removing flavored  
milk from LAUSD.

Attach your note of support to a one GALLON milk bottle decorated as a  
Valentine.  Empty jugs are fine, but feel free to fill it with 14 cups  
of sugar (or sand)  to educate your family.
Remember,  we're all about the love. Food services is expecting our  
lovely Valentines... be nice!
  Option 1:
  Participate in the Valentine's Day Rally
(In honor of  Jamie Oliver)
Meet us outside the Visconti lot at 1:30 and we'll parade ourselves  
right up to the 28th floor with our Valentines  at 2 p.m. sharp.
Option 2:
  Drop  off your Valentine anytime on Monday addressed to food  
services at 333 South Beaudry.
  Option 3:
Drop off your Valentine at the Farmer's Kitchen any time through this  
Sunday and chef Ernie will deliver it for you.
  Message:

Please take back the sugar. We don't want it in our milk!


  I can see it now filling the conference table on the 28th floor.
REMEMBER:
WE ARE NON-OPPOSITIONAL  - do it with LOVE.
