Changing the School Food Environment: Creating Healthy Eaters
|
+ Such current topics - Thank you!
- Kind of a rant regarding commercial farming. I'd have appreciated more useful content for improving my district food program. What can I do?!
+ I thought I was up on what was happening in the "food world" - What an eye opener!
- Needed more practical application
+ I wish she could have talked more! Riveting presentation - made me angry to hear about food politics!
+ Alarming and informative!
- Felt she was on a soap box rant...info was therefore not so applicable
- Really came across as politically biased and paranoid
+ Exceptional awareness training and I hope she becomes involved politically to promote the right things!
