The way we eat has changed more in the last 50 years than in the previous 10,000…. Now our food is coming from enormous assembly lines where the animals and the workers are being abused, and the food has become much more dangerous in ways that are deliberately hidden from us. This isn’t just about what we’re eating. It’s about what we’re allowed to say. What we’re allowed to know.

I think for real change to happen, it's going to have to come from the kids, the community, the teachers, the parents.

I think there could hardly be a more important subject than health and nutrition.

Students can do experiments and investigate for themselves what's going on in restaurants, in our food system, and begin a process of learning.
