USA Today on Revolution Foods Organic School Lunches
As America gets fatter and fatter and diabetes and obesity are as common among children as scabby knees and bratty behavior a feature story in today's USA TODAY is especially noteworthy.

Revolution Foods procurement methods have greatly reduced costs enabling districts to provide healthy, high quality meals within the per meal costs of full government reimbursement. The company is part of the Nest Collective which according to the Collective's website is a company of consumer products brands focused on nourishing babies, toddlers and kids with healthy, organic foods.

Margo Wootan, nutrition policy director of the Center For Science in the Public Interest is quoted in the story expressing skepticism about a variety of efforts, including the focus on local and natural products, as well as the elimination of high fructose corn syrup and growth hormones in milk.

CSPI which has been a leader though not always progressive voice in healthy nutrition is, according to Wooten, more concerned with the broader issues such as overall saturated fat and salt and sugar intake.

Now if only someone would take on school funding for gym classes and making sure gym teachers weren't so mean.
