I came across this blog and I thought that some of you might be interested. It is written by a woman who decided to buy and eat school lunches for a whole year.
In particular, this passage hit home about how the food we eat effects our body:
When I think about my bloodstream, my heart, my brain...they are all created with molecules from the school lunches I have eaten all year long. Shooting through my veins right now are molecules of beef that was treated with antibiotics (29 million pounds of antibiotics was fed to animals in 2009), apples with pesticide residue, vegetables including potatoes grown with chemical fertilizer, whole wheat buns that might not be as healthy as I thought, high fructose corn syrup in the ketchup, and maybe a dye or two. I don't know all the specific ingredients that are in the school lunches, but now they are now my body's ingredients, my fuel, my problem.
