CHOICE (Consumers for Healthy
Options In Children's Education)
was launched in 1994 by a group of concerned parents to promote a
choice of wholesome plant-based meals and nutrition education in our
nation's schools. Soy Happy's founder Johanna McCloy is one of the
advisors to this organization. Their web site is very comprehensive
and useful for parents, kids, and foodservice workers alike. Check
it out! Contact this organization for more information or to get involved.
New York Coalition for
Healthy School Lunches
introduced the Healthy School Lunch resolution to New York's legislature,
which passed it by a unanimous vote. This is "a grassroots group
of concerned parents, students, educators, food service professionals,
medical professionals, religious leaders and environmentalists working
to bring healthy plant-based nutrition to our schools in response
to the health crisis occurring among our children."
