"The Green Bag Revolution"

3.29.10. I am grateful for my son's new lunch bag. . .it is our attempt to monitor what he eats at school, a chance to cook more and pack healthy lunches and snacks. It's a step in the direction of healthier living in the Ulima 'ohana! (Motivated by Jaime Olliver's 'Food Revolution'-watch it on Friday nights, it will blow your mind!)
I watched a new reality show last night, Jaime Olliver's 'Food Revolution'. The premise of the show is a British chef who has transformed the school food system in England and is trying to do that in the most unhealthy city in the US in West Virginia and the resistance he meets and the transformation that takes place. I was appalled at what our children eat and I asked Fosi to watch the show. I'd already starting making steps to eat better, even after the diet last month. I'm trying to acclimate my taste buds to dark chocolate and soy chocolate milk and cook from raw and healthier foods. Tonight, I made a delicious whole wheat spaghetti dinner with turkey meatballs and green salad, it was great! My family loved it. So off we went to Wal-Mart to buy my son a lunch bag. We plan to review his menus at school and make him lunch/breakfast on the days with foods we consider unhealthy. It's worth a try and it is never too late to change and to live a healthier life style for our own sake and for the sake of our children and future. I am grateful for being surrounded by good examples at work and around me in the universe. Mahalo ke Akua!
