BROOKLYN, New York – Aug. 31, 2009 – Slow Food USA (www.slowfoodusa.org), today announced that its Time for Lunch campaign (www.slowfoodusa.org/timeforlunch) will be conducting more than 280 Eat-Ins (part potluck, part sit-in) to send a clear message to Congress to provide America’s children with real food at school.
The Eat-Ins, taking place in all 50 states, make up a National Day of Action on Labor Day, Sept. 7, to publicly kick-off the Time for Lunch campaign. Thousands of people will share food in a public demonstration to show support for the need to invest in children’s health, protect children against food that puts them at risk and teach children healthy habits that will last through life.
“It will be a picnic, a potluck and a virtual march on Washington. It will be a day when America shares food it believes in and demands real food for our children,” stated Josh Viertel, president, Slow Food USA.
