Local activists concerned about the nutrition of school meals are joining with Slow Food USA�s Time for Lunch effort, a national campaign asking Congress to provide America�s children with fresh foods at school.
A cornerstone of the campaign is a series of Eat-Ins Sept. 5-7 to draw attention to the issue.
Local Time for Lunch partners are K�kua Hawai�i Foundation and Slow Food O�ahu.
They�ve planned these events: an Eat-in Potluck 12:30-2 p.m. Saturday on the Brigham Young University-Hawai�i cafeteria lawn; free screenings of �Food, Inc.� 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Brigham Young University�s auditorium in L��ie and 4 p.m. Monday at Punahou School�s Thurston Memorial Chapel; and a series of school �garden parties,� at schools that have student-tended gardens.
