WELLNESS CONNECTION · NutritionHealthy Eating is in Session at Oak Park Unified School DistrictSeptember 08, 2009 - 3:00PMChildren and teens returned to school in the Oak Park Unified School District last week to find healthier options for school lunches, thanks to California Health & Longevity Institute Director of Nutrition Paulette Lambert, RD, CDE who developed more than 50 recipes for three elementary school cafeterias and a high school cafe. Cafeteria staff from the public school system attended training sessions in August that included a cooking demonstration and menu tasting, featured on KNBC 4.As reported by the Ventura County Star, "'Biggest Loser' contestant Sione Fa stopped by briefly to discuss his appearance on the reality TV show and how his struggles with weight began in childhood. Addressing the cafeteria staff members warmly as 'lunch ladies,' Fa praised their willingness to help protect children by preparing healthier foods. What did the kids think so far? KCBS/KCAL reporter Amy Johnson caught the students' reactions during a recent lunch period broadcast at Brookside Elementary School, where a "make your own taco" bar seemed to be a big hit from some budding food critics. We are proud to contribute to improving the nutritional value of the foods our local children eat at school each day. Rated by 1 person:
