I am calling for a National Boycott against Junk Food day!

Hey all moms!

I am also known as the Mom on a Mission 4 Nutrition. and I am calling moms and dads and kids to stand with me in declaring next Wednesday February 20th as National Boycott Junk Food Day!

I work with school lunchrooms helping them turn to alternative snacks and kick out the junk that is sold to our kids. Face it moms, our kids will eat snack foods so why not offer them healthy alternatives?

It starts with us parents if we want to halt the rise of obesity which is at an epidemic, same for type 2 diabetes and ADD and the list goes on!

We need to make a strong clear statement that we will no longer accept junk foods at schools.

Our tax money puts those vending machines there and we can say what goes in or not!

Did you know the junk and fast food industry spends over $30 Billion a year in marketing to get us to buy their products?

Did you know that there are 13,000 school districts in the US and each school lunchroom is an independent business that does not get money from the districts they are in?

School lunch rooms get federal subsidies of both food and money and rely heavily on ala carte and vending machines to supplement their budget for salaries, equipment etc.  What this means is while everyone is talking health and change in the school lunch room for example, they at the same out of the other side of the mouth have no intention of dispensing with vending. They need to sell junk food to our kids to keep the lunch room open!!

Is this outrageous or what?? Does this make you mad??

I hope so!

So why not join with me and get the word out declaring next Wed. Feb. 20th as National Boycott Junk Food day? And let us promote veggie sit in's instead? Or at least healthy food sit in's. lol

We need to send a clear and strong statement that we will support the lunch room but not with junk that is making our kids sick.

And we need to send a clear message to junk and fast food companies that we will no longer allow them to take out lucrative contracts in effect bribing our schools to keep thier junk foods in the schools for the almighty dollar.

What do you say moms??

Stand with me!
