Seaside Neighborhood School has a garden that students tend, learn, and eat from - every school should do this.

Hi Jill,
Alice Waters has done a lot in the Berkeley area in this regard. Here is a link to the Edible Schoolyard. There was also a great article in the Sunday New York Times Magazine, probably in September 2005 about her mission. I dined recently at The Kitchen in Denver. They have a mission of supporting community and school gardens which is one reason I chose to dine there as opposed to many of the other great spots in Denver.
I used to be pretty active in the local school system until I made everybody mad. Having a school garden at Emerald Coast Middle School was always a goal of mine.
Just some ideas and places to look for resources, etc.

I agree 100%. Wasn't there a thread on here where a lady got flamed for trying to do backpacks with food in them for local kids that didn't get food at home? My memory is a little hazy on this so I could be wrong.

jackalope, I believe you are referring to Food For Thought. I hope no one flamed them.

Yep that's the one I was thinking about. I think someone was drilling them about whether or not they were a nonprofit or something along those lines. The interrogator was pissing me off but I kept my comments to myself. My wife had talked to the lady that runs it, I believe. From my undersanding, it is so bad for some kids, that they had to hide their backpacks because other family members would take the food. I think that's why they request easy open and ready to eat products. That truly is some food for thought.

Poppy it is all about balance, deep fried oreos and a diet coke...everyone knows that. In Texas the Hispanics are raising hell because their obesity rate has gone crazy through the roof because of school food. Fat and carbs are cheap, ask any prisoner.
