The Time for Lunch campaign was mentioned on Iowa Public Radio yesterday during a conversation with U.S. Congressman Leonard Boswell (D-IA, 3rd Congressional district).  You can listen to the entire program online.  Kurt Friese calls in to discuss children's health and school lunches about a third of the way into the program.  

A major goal of the Time for Lunch Campaign is to make our representatives in Congress aware of our position on the Child Nutrition Act.  Our children, and all of America's children, need real food in school. 

You can find contact information for your federal and state legislators here.  Slow Food USA offers some tips on how to connect with your elected officials.  Here are some quick ideas:

Quick steps:

1. Write a letter to your legislators.  There is a helpful list of key talking points here.  
2. Make a phone call to tell them that change can’t wait: It’s time provide America’s children with real food at school.
3. Invite your legislators to your Eat-In and/or setup a meeting to talk in person.
4. Tell us how it went.

Remember-- your politicians work for you!
