Veteran independent filmmaker Amy Kalafa recently made a documentary on how school lunches have become so unhealthy and what some of the school districts are planning to do to change this.
In this film titled, “Two Angry Moms,” she hopes that parents who see the film will be encouraged to take action and do something about it this coming school year.
Kalafa and the other “angry mom,” Susan Rubin, a nutritionist and mother of three, came up with the title for the documentary one day while just throwing around ideas and that one just seemed to fit, especially since they discovered that a former Texas secretary of agriculture was quoted saying that, “it would take 2 million angry moms to change the food programs nationwide.”
Kalafa visits five schools in the film and one of them, Katonah-Lewisboro School District in NY, one day served baked chicken with olive oil and herbs, cauliflower and roasted sweet potatoes. A very nice, healthy meal if I say so myself. Kalafa said, “Kids were buying it and they were liking it. Surprise, surprise.”
I personally feel that this is an ever growing problem today. More people need to stand up for a healthier lifestyle for not only their children, but themselves as well.
I encourage you all to see this movie.
