Time for Lunch Eat-In

As some of you may have read by now, Slow Food USA is sponsoring a Time for Lunch campaign this fall. One goal of this campaign is to send a message to our representatives that we care about improving the quality of food in school lunches. Another is to provide opportunities for people around the country who are passionate about getting better food into schools to get in touch with one another and build stronger social networks for change.

As part of that campaign, Cynthia Walters of Shanahan Middle School is spearheading an "eat-in" -- a group of people gathering to share a home-cooked meal -- at the Shanahan Middle School, 814 Shanahan Road, Lewis Center, Ohio, just northeast of Powell off of Route 23, on Sunday, September 20th, from 2-4 p.m. (welcome address at 2:15 p.m.) Slow Food USA and Slow Food Columbus would like to invite you to join us at this event.

The requirements are simple. The first thing that you need to do is sign up here (it doesn't cost anything, but we do need to know how many people will be attending before the event starts, so it's important that you sign up). The second thing that you need to do is bring a healthy, nutritious, home-cooked dish to share. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, though ideally it would reflect Slow Food's emphasis on food that's good, clean and fair.

Bring your family, bring your friends, and bring your voice. It's time that it was heard.
