Tomato asiago frittata, quinoa tabouleh with French lentils, ratatouille with homegrown eggplants, Tuscan wheatberry salad, skillet cornbread, broccoli raisin salad, sweet potatoes with lemon basil, homemade applesauce, Indian curd rice, apple pie with caramel crisp, giant shiny golden snail-shaped loaves of challah…selections from the menu of a new local restaurant? Nope. These and other delicious potluck offerings featuring local ingredients, sustainably produced and lovingly prepared by parents, kids, and other food-centric citizens, turned the City Park shelter #12 picnic tables into groaning boards of goodness during the first annual Slow Food Iowa City Time for Lunch Eat-In this Labor Day. |

 This year, we have an opportunity we cannot pass up. In the fall, Congress will decide whether to update the Child Nutrition Act, which is the law that determines what 30 million children eat at school every day. By giving schools the resources to serve real food, we can build a strong foundation for our children’s health. We can teach them healthy habits that will last them through life. We can make a down payment on health care reform. We can do all of this, but only if we help our legislators connect the dots.
Slow Food Iowa City is hosting a Labor Day Potluck in the Park, one of over 200 around the country, to kick off the "Time for Lunch" campaign & to call on Congress to make REAL FOOD the standard in public schools. Price: Bring a (local & sustainable!) dish to share, & a beverage if you like

Time: 11:00am - 3:00pm
