Thanks for sharing what you’re doing, Brian! Perhaps some of the other trustees could share what they’re doing during their board reports.

This was a great event and I really enjoyed being there. It was a delicious meal and my wife filed away the chili recipe for future use. Cindy Gershen and the whole team are doing fantastic work.

My commitment at the event was to scale back on soda (aka Diabetes in a Bottle) and to focus on eating a lot more greens. Two months later, I’ve been doing a pretty good job. In 2013, I’ve only had 4 or 5 Cokes and have replaced them with smoothies made of berries and greens. We bought a NutriBullet- love it!

We need to make sure we continue to replicate this throughout the District. Nutrition habits during school are a huge precursor of life-long health.

What a fantastic program. It is about time schools started paying more attention to nutrition. Although this is a great step in the right direction, I gotta wonder how 2 cups of buttermilk and 2 cups of mayo is considered “healthy” considering the amount of fat and oil? The chili looks great though! A list of some oil-free dressings, (some contain nuts)…
