Praise for Lunch Love Community
“Lunch Love Community is an intelligent and beautiful suite of short films and discussion guides that reveal the complexity and inspiration that comes through the process of changing school meals. It is an invaluable resource for parents, administrators, and others involved in improving the diets of K-12 students.”
Carolie Sly, Ph.D.,Director of Education Programs, Center for Ecoliteracy, Berkeley
“I have used Lunch Love Community in my seminar on environmental politics and film. I highly recommend the series to other educators. It provides a detailed, accessible, and multifaceted approach to the science, politics, and economics of the school lunch program’s transformation in Berkeley, with broad implications for all of our communities.”
Thomas Shevory, Professor of Politics, Ithaca College
“For all community advocates and educators concerned with food justice issues, Lunch Love Community is an insightful and creative documentary that will help you open up a rich dialogue around changing the food system for the better.”
Armando Nieto, Executive Director, Community Food & Justice Coalition, Oakland
“I love the way that Lunch Love Community weaves together so many different lessons about food, eating and nourishment. From the labor of food service to the significance of social difference to the history of dietary reform, Lunch Love Community is true to the complexities and contradictions of what it means to eat well. And, the best part is that it invites us to take part in the conversation!”
Jessica Hayes-Conroy, Professor, Women’s Studies, Hobart & William Smith Colleges
