Wednesday, January 26, 7pm, at 2 Alice’s Coffee LoungeInterested in Better School Lunches for Your Kids? Chicken nuggets, pizza, and “Italian dunkers” have replaced sandwiches and complete nutritional meals in many schools across the country, including our own. To see how two moms in Connecticut revolutionized the school lunch programs in their districts, the Cornwall Community Co-Op invites parents to a screening of a film called “Two Angry Moms” next week at 2 Alice’s Coffee Lounge. Filmmaker and mom Amy Kalafa of Weston, CT, made “Two Angry Moms” because she was fed up with her children eating highly-processed food filled with additives and preservatives at school. The movie chronicles what happens when parents start a grass-roots revolution aimed at establishing programs that safeguard the health of our kids. The film documents the better school food movement all over America and offers strategies for overcoming roadblocks and getting real food into school cafeterias. The Co-Op, as part of its mission to increase access to wholesome, local foods in Cornwall and surrounding communities, will screen the film and host a conversation afterwards. Come on down to 2 Alice’s to join the conversation! |
