While we were driving home in September, I had time to listen to a lot of radio from Montana to Nebraska, back to Montana and then back to Nebraska again. Something that really hit a chord with me involved the changes to the school lunch program. I shared a couple of Trent Loos’ blogs (blog #1 and blog #2) and also shared with you my opinion in my blog titled “It’s What ANY Momma Bear Would Do”.
Harvest Public Media posted a couple of questions on their Twitter account recently relating to the changes in the school lunch program. I answered them by telling them how the changes have affected our family. I received a phone call from Grant Gerlock with NET Radio asking me if I would be willing to help him with an article on how these portion cutbacks are affecting my children. I agreed. Grant came to our house last Thursday to record my answers. He also went to our school and interviewed our district superintendent (Thank you, Dan!). The outcome was a story published by Harvest Public Media, “School lunch changes create meaty issue”, and by NET Radio, “Slimmer School Lunches Struggle To Fit In”. The radio interview can be listened to at both sites.
