An Ear of Corn VS. A Bag of Corn Chips...and the winner is...

As we come to the close of the holiday weekend, thinking ahead of what to make for my children's school lunches.  I cannot emphasize the importance of our children eating fresh and local fruits and vegetables versus eating processed foods.  Teaching your children how to eat healthy at an early age is a gift that you will have given them that will last a life time. 

Especially, during this time of year,  a  bag of potato chips cannot rival a bowl of cherries. Nor can a bag of corn chips rival an ear of corn.  I hope you will take advantage of our glorious growing season.  I would like to share with you the latest video from Berkeley's Edible School Yard, Alice Water's inspiring and wonderful food project through the honorable Chez Panisse Foundation. Please watch both videos, including the one labeled Food Fight and see for yourself the lifetime of knowledge gained by these wonderful children.  

Kudo's to my friends in Berkeley for being pioneers and continued passionate advocates in promoting healthy lunches and a healthy lifestyle on behalf of all  our children.  My love to you all...
