So its been 9 long months since my last entry... I've been busy... just giving birth to our 2nd daughter : ) Having 2 little faces staring back at me at the dining room table gives me 2 good reasons to want to provide good, healthy food for me and my family to eat. All the more reason to support Jamie Oliver and the Food Revolution that he has set out to achieve. Have you checked it out? It airs on Friday nights at 9pm on NBC. His mission is to change the food that our kids eat in school to real healthy food. What a concept! How sad that french fries are considered a vegetable! I was blown away in the first episode when first graders couldn't identify a tomato or a potato, but they knew what a chicken nugget was and french fries and ketchup. It makes me wonder what we can do to keep the revolution going, or get it started for that matter, in our own city, school, or home. What would it take to begin serving more fresh food? Money. That's for sure! Time, yes it will take more time, especially in the beginning when learning how to cook, or gathering some good recipes. The benefits, though, are endless. Better, longer lives. Healthier kids. The sacrifice is worth it and it's something I can be proud of when I'm staring at those 2 little faces across the dining room table.
Cheers!
