Time for lunch
Aug 19, 2009 |
This Labor Day weekend will be the focal point of Slow Food USA’s national efforts to change the federal Child Nutrition Act–the monies that fund school lunch programs around the country. If you’ve eaten a public school lunch lately you know there’s nothing but room for improvement. In its Time for Lunch campaign. Slow Food USA is planning over 200 eat-ins throughout the U.S.A., including four across the Hawaiian Islands–Waikoloa and Waimea on the Big Island, Wailuku on Maui and at Laie’s BYU campus here on Oahu.
“What is an eat-in?” you might ask, perhaps having missed out on the Be-ins and Love-ins of the ’60s. An eat-in is a potluck that features good (tasting), clean (to the environment) and fair (to the producers) food.
