For the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a federal contractor supporting a government survey that assesses school health.
I see what educators and health experts around the nation
do to improve the lives of youth. And one of the side benefits of the
work is that I get to attend the occasional conference to hear about
what is actually happening on the ground.
Several
years ago, for example, I spent half a day listening to Kentucky
educators explain how they connected local farmers and schools to
improve school lunches. Local farmers also helped build functional
school gardens. The end result was a true farm-to-table operation.
Kentucky school children were eating just like the hipsters on the Food
Network.
And so when a small group of Montgomery County Public
Schools parents started advocating for “real” food, I paid attention.
Was farm-to-table coming to MCPS?...
