AW: I think she didn't ask for enough. We need a completely free school lunch, she's asking for too little cause she doesn't believe it can go through congress. Many people in the country believe school lunch needs to change dramatically

AC: I think she's been blamed for many things she had nothing to do with but in our country we have little knowledge of how the government works and that changes people's image of her. Another thing, the national school lunch program is many years old, we've never seen so much progress in the past 6 decades as we have seen in the past 6 years.

JO: She raised the conversation

AC: You know, If they grow it, if they cook it, they're going to want to eat it. Make them part of the process, they have to go shopping, they have to grow it, they'll want to eat it.

JO: Take your child to the farmers market 15 minutes once a week, you don't even need to spend anything, and that child will have a much different knowledge, so much food knowledge. People feel they have to spend but you don't, just go, enjoy it.

AC: They argue choice, that we're taking choice away. They argue there are no good or bad foods, and they argue that all foods can be part of a healthy diet, none of which makes sense.

JO: Exactly the same, anyone generally working or advocating for soda companies or fast food are incredibly good, well paid, at the top of their game. On a big level they are often quiet because they get more publicity by causing trouble.

JO: Good cooking, good training.

AW: It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.

AC: For schools that aren't that far along, we do rainbow days where everyone gets to pick a salad and pick different colors, we do tastings and they get to vote. We involve them in the process, there's an educational component. We serve tamales and pot stickers, all kinds of different things.

JO: I had young and teenage kids tell me that good school food saved their life. They're eating good food and they're clearing their plates clean.

JO: Elvis, Ghandi, and these two, and Epic Mealtime Boys just to mix things up a little bit.
