Two Angry Moms - Fighting the Health of America’s Kids
This spring I was invited to see a screening of the movie, “Two Angry Moms.” My friend and colleague Amy Kalafa is the producer and one of the two angry moms featured in the film. For months I had heard Amy speak of her travels and filming efforts. During the film I felt like I had a snap shot into her remarkable efforts. What amazes me most is that this film is now complete yet Amy and Susan (the 2nd angry mom) are still touring around in hopes to spread their message a little further and continue to walk their talk.
Amy and Susan don’t lecture on this topic instead they illustrate what people in our country can do help fight for our children’s health. Obesity is an epidemic and if we don’t do something about it, we’re doomed. They say this is the first generation where the parents may out live their kids. These two angry moms show us what has already been done to address this issue and how to take small steps so that you too can play an active role in the health of America’s future. It’s time to step up the plate (no pun intended) by offering our children delicious nourishing foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The film is now available for pre-order and is a must see for all parent, faculty and community nutritionists and health educators. Amy loved my feedback so much that it looks like my testimonial will be featured on the DVD! You can purchase this excellent educational and inspiring documentary and have it in your hands this fall - just in time to start changing what you’re putting in your child’s lunch box. If you dig around on the website you’ll be amazed at how much free information content they provide. Enjoy and please report back on how your efforts are going. If you don’t know where to start or have unique ideas to share, post your feedback!
