On the next Your Call we'll talk about school food. In a unanimous vote, the Senate approved $4.5 billion to increase the number of free meals and improve the quality of food served in schools nationwide. How significant a victory is this for the campaign to improve school food programs? What's next on that movement's agenda? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Have you seen menu changes in a school near you? It's Your Call, with Hana Baba and you.
Guests:
Janet Poppendieck, author of Free For All: Fixing School Food in America
Zenobia Barlow, cofounder and executive director of The Center for Ecoliteracy
Jennifer LeBarre, nutrition services director for Oakland Unified School District
