I am not a sh@t disturber.  Really.

But when I see something that should be needs to be changed, I think it’s okay to speak up…especially when I provide constructive feedback.  You’ll notice that I’m not a complainer.  There’s hardly any point in that – nobody listens.  (At least with my own kids, complaining isn’t a successful strategy for getting something to change.)

After our school superintendent responded to my recent post about our sub-par lunch program, I thought I’d point out some of the good work that is being done on this issue.  See, I am not complaining.  I am just trying to consolidate good information and make it easier for everyone to see what is going on.

• This teacher is eating what her students are eating, and shares it on her blog every day.  She is fearful that she will lose her job if her administration finds out what she is doing.  I truly admire and respect her efforts.  Take a peek:  Fed Up with School Lunch
• Time For Lunch:  A National Campaign to give kids the school food they deserve
• The School Lunch Fact Sheet: the basics on how much funding is really available for each student lunch every day
• Michelle Obama aims to end child obesity in a generation.
• The Lunch Box: Healthy Tools for All Schools
• School Lunch Talk: Updates and excellent information about school lunch issues.
• For some true inspiration, take a look at Jamie Oliver’s TED award speech on changing school lunch.

Since we’re being constructive (and not complaining), please share any success stories or progress that is being made on this issue where you live.  It will help to keep us going through this challenge!
