Is anyone paying attention?<\/p>\n<p>In remaking the lunch line in Boulder schools, Cooper has revealed  the federally subsidized school meals program as living somewhere in the  Stone Age. Not merely underfunded, school kitchens are woefully  under-managed and under-equipped to function in a digital age. No wonder  they constantly run in the red. Schools are incapable of serving real  food any more because they are mired in lack of imagination, lack of  will, and above all, lack of professional know-how when it comes to  producing meals with recognizable whole ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Cooper has proven that serving better food in school  is not just about getting a bigger handout from Uncle Sam. Turning out  wholesome meals, as opposed to the reheated junk so many school  districts pass off as food, can be done on the current budget. But  getting there takes guts, hard work, and brains &#8212; hardly the qualities  that win advancement in public-school bureaucracies.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article at Grist: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grist.org\/article\/food-2010-11-22-lessons-from-boulder-school-food\">Lessons from Ann Cooper\u2019s school-food revolution in Boulder<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ann Cooper is conducting a clinic in Boulder on how to rescue school food.
