Whole Foods Launches School Lunch Revolution

AUSTIN, Texas—Whole Foods Market recently partnered with Chef Ann Cooper, aka "The Renegade Lunch Lady," to launch “School Lunch Revolution" campaign to help schools make a switch from processed foods to fresh, natural ingredients and scratch-made meals.

The campaign’s Web site, www.thelunchbox.org, is an online resource created by Chef Ann that empowers schools to reform their lunch programs. The site provides nutritionally analyzed, scalable recipes; tools to help schools work with smaller scale, quality food vendors; resources for procuring real, natural foods regionally and locally; tools to simplify compliance, tracking and cost analysis; and teaching and training tools for lunchroom personnel.
