Alton Brown talks about Kids Lunch

If you haven't been following Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, then you should definitely check it out.  He is doing amazing things and many are joining his quest. While the goals aren't necessarily centered on Eco-friendly habits, the end result of eating fresh food, is in itself green, there isn't all the processing time, it is more likely that is shipped from local sources, there are less people in hospitals therefore reducing demand, etc., so check it out: http://www.jamieoliver.com/campaigns/jamies-food-revolution  and sign the petition!!



As this series has come to light the other folks out there giving talks and striving for the protection of our future generations have been publicized more and more.  I ran across this talk by Alton Brown down in Georgia for a group with some very similar goals and I thought I'd pass it on because he really touches on how hard it is for him to undo everything his daughter picks up or experiences at school.  This foundation has a whole series of talks that are worth listening too as well.
