¡Viva la Revolución de Alimento!

These are truly exciting times for the Food Revolution!

Yesterday as I walked through the cafeteria on the way to lunch, I was approached by the General Manager of Food Services at Mauldin High School who informed me that she stumbled upon our blog and was interested in meeting with us! She told me that she would love to sit down and discuss our ideas for bringing healthy options to the lunch line. She also said that her Regional Supervisor was interested in our blog and wanted to attend the meeting in order to discuss the options and possibilities of offering healthier "prepared meals" and snack items in the cafeteria!

This is a dream come true! I never dreamt of the day where we would be approached by Food Services for a meeting. Thanks to everyone who has supported our movement up to this point!

COMING SOON:

As the school year draws to a close, we are now faced with some much needed time for planning and coordination! This summer, we plan to devise a purpose and seek out support from local businesses, politicians and members of the general community. We hope to increase our blog postings and readership - to ensure that our efforts make a true impact in the community, please post the link to our blog on Facebook, Twitter, and whatever other social networks you call home.

SHOUT OUTS:

We have to thank Rep. Eric Bedingfield for his interest and support in the MHS Food Revolution; we hope to meet with him soon to discuss the options of taking the fight for healthier lunches to Columbia!

Thanks to Limestone Farms of Greenville for their help! Please stop by their booth at the Saturday Market to thank them for their support!
