Feed Me Better!

While this will certainly be familiar to residents of England, the campaign is less well-known in the rest of the world.

Chef Jamie Oliver has created a campaign to improve the quality of food served in elementary and high schools. The Feed Me Better campaign promotes:

  1. Fresh, nutrient-rich (but tasty) lunches
  2. Banning schools from serving junk food
  3. Giving 'lunch ladies' training on food preparation
  4. Teaching kids about food in schools
  5. More government funding to increase schools' budgets for ingredients, kitchen equipment, and kitchen staff salaries
The site has lots of information about how the campaign has made a difference, information on how to become involved or start a similar campaign in your country, and recipes.
