Advocacy in Action: Fed Up With Lunch

Sarah Wu, the author of Fed Up with Lunch and a blog of the same name, is an amazing school lunch reform advocate. For a year, Wu committed to eating lunch as her students did in the school cafeteria, and documented each lunch so the public to see what was really being served. Her book and blog got a lot of attention from health advocates and the general public alike and has been a key element in recent health reform.

Recently Wu blogged about the reaction she gets from people when she tells them about the work she does. "Parents should just pack a lunch for their kids” she is told time and time again. But this is the furthest thing we can do to cause reform.

I had some thoughts of my own to share:


I strongly recommend checking out Fed Up with Lunch - it is among the best school lunch reform resources out there.
