The obesity epidemic among American children is becoming so bad that I think there's a growing realization across the country that we've got to change what we're feeding our kids and that school may be a really good place to start.

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

I find that one of the most important things, as a writer, is to just show up - to just stay in the chair and fight through the difficult patches. As long as you're at the desk, and you're willing to fight it out, eventually the right words will come.

Yes, a cheeseburger and fries is probably my favourite meal. But I don't eat ground beef anymore.

There's a real strong link today between soda consumption and obesity among children.

As an investigative reporter, I'm trying to uncover things and expose them to create a dialogue.

There's also a growing trend toward having gardens in schools to literally show kids where food comes from by having them grow and prepare their own food. There's also a movement that's bringing farmers into schools and creating relationships between local farms and local cafeterias, so that instead of frozen mystery meat, you have fresh produce that's coming from the area that has a name and a face associated with it.
