Appetite for a Change: Children’s Environmental Health
A campaign to reduce children’s exposure to pesticides, toxins, and junk foods.
The Appetite for a Change Goals:
STOP spraying toxic pesticides on school property, playgrounds and in buildings, and convert to integrated pest management practices.
KICK junk foods and junk food ads out of our schools.
START converting school lunches to healthier menus, using locally grown and/or organic and transition to organic ingredients (no pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, irradiation or genetically engineered ingredients). Offer vegetarian options.
TEACH kids about healthy food choices and sustainable agriculture through school garden projects and curriculum materials.
Mothers start a food fight
Susan Rubin sounds passionate and angry as she describes the junk-food free-for-alls she has seen at schools across the nation.
Students are often surrounded by foods that “are loaded with so many artificial ingredients and additives that you need a Ph.D. in biochemistry to figure out what’s in them,” says Rubin, a mother from Chappaqua, N.Y., with three school-age daughters.
“Real food doesn’t come from a science lab. It grows in the ground, flies in the air, swims in the sea and walks on the ground,” says Rubin, 47, one of the stars of Two Angry Moms, a new documentary film about a parental war against the sale of highly processed, sugary foods in U.S. schools.

Two Angry Moms
Are you sick and tired of packing your kids’ lunch box everyday because the cafeteria food is unfit for human consumption? Do you feel guilty when your kids “buy”? Are you annoyed at all the junk being handed out and sold at school? Are you angry enough to do something about it?
Two Angry Moms is a documentary work-in-progress that asks the question: What happens when two “fed-up” moms try to change the school lunch program?
