The James Beard Foundation just posted this little ditty about a recipe contest:

Think you’re up to the task? We’re teaming up with the New York Coalition for Healthy School Food, the NYC Office of SchoolFood, and Candle Café/79 to develop healthy, plant-based, and meatless entrées to be served at NYC public school lunches. If you’re a restaurant chef and would like to participate, send a recipe to info@healthyschoolfood.org by November 30 .

We’re excited to see that First Lady Obama is getting into teaching kids to garden through Sesame Street!

We meant to post this earlier last week when we saw it, but since Michael Pollan’s article reminded us, we wanted to say hurrah to the Obama’s on such great leadership in practice on the White House grounds.
