A new documentary that examines the relationship behind childhood obesity and The National School Lunch Program features several individuals prominent in the vegan community.
Written and co-directed by James Costa, Lunch Hour will be screened at the Palm Beach Food Festival tomorrow, Wednesday April 18, from 12:00 to 1:30 PM.
Talk radio host Robin Quivers, vegan chef Alex Jamieson and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s Dr. Neal Barnard and Elizabeth Kucinich all have clips in the film and give their input on making cafeteria food healthier.
Dr. Barnard demonstrated with graduated cylinders how much fat can be eliminated from a child’s diet for each day the school serves veggie burgers.
“At most schools in America, the only choice the child gets is that and nothing else,” Dr. Barnard said, holding up the cylinder with the greatest amount of fat in it.
