Ann Cooper is also known as the "Renegade Lunch Lady." It is sad that when one is an advocate for wholesome, healthy food they are called a renegade. Well, then that makes me an official crazy lady too! Crazy for kids. Crazy for health. Crazy for you to make informed decisions.
Back to the video clip...she tells it exactly like it is. If I were standing on a stage voicing the facts and stats on this topic, this is exactly what I would want to come outta my mouth! Please take the time to watch this and pass it along to anyone you know who has kids in the public school system.
What are the kids eating at your public schools?
What diseases are your kids at-risk for by eating at the public schools?
I love this breakdown she gives in her address:
- $110 billion spent on fast food
- $100 billion spent on diet pills
- $50 billion spent on veggies
- $200 billion spent on diet-related illnesses
Spend less on fast food & more on veggies, then the other amounts will decrease! Duh. This is a huge "duh" moment.
Do you know, we more money is spent on one gourmet cup of fancy-pants coffee than is spent within the school system per child, per week for their lunch food!
Watch out for the crazy ladies. We are comin' round the mountain!

Hmm, how timely, I was just called fanatical myself about health and food issues.
