Westport Moms get angry about school lunches, and push for change…

Two Angry Moms – the Movie and the Movement –
Sponsored by Parents for Change
Showing at the Westport Library McManus Room
Tuesday, October 28th 9:30a.m.


Local Mom, Amy Kalafa in Weston, made the movie, ‘Two Angry Moms,’ because she was fed up with her children eating heavily-processed food, filled with additives and preservatives, at school.

Now, a group of Westport Moms, headed by Television presenter and Time to Eat’s Nicole Straight want other Westport Moms to come together to look at what our children are eating in school, and how we can change it to ensure they are eating food that is better for them.

If your kids are eating pizza, chicken nuggets and100-calorie snack bags, the chances are they aren’t getting the right kind of nutrition for proper growth.

A growing number of kids aren’t getting enough nutrients like calcium, iron, and assorted vitamins, which is affecting their brainpower, behaviour, and ability to concentrate at school.

Timely, controversial and cutting edge, Two Angry Moms, the film and the movement,
address an issue of great concern to parents across the country. What is happening to the
health of our children and how does school food factor in?

Two Angry Moms, the film, will be shown at the Westport Public Library in the McManus Room on Tuesday, October 28th from 9:30a.m.-11:30 a.m., and chronicles what happens when two fed-up moms take on the system and start a grass-roots revolution aimed at establishing programs that safeguard the health of our
kids. Chef Michel Nischan and Amy Kalafa will be at the screening to answer questions.

Amy Kalafa (filmmaker in Weston) explores the roles the federal government, corporate
interest, school administration and parents play in the feeding of our country’s school
kids and the impact it has on their health.

The screening is free to the public. For more details about the movie and the movement please visit http://www.angrymoms.org, or contact Nicole J. Straight at: 203-221-8306
