LSP to screen Two Angry Moms in Montevideo on April 6th
Land Stewardship Project will be screening the new film Two Angry Moms April 6th at 6:30 PM (please note that this is a change from the original time of 7:00PM) in Montevideo, MN at the Community Center (550 South 1st ST.). There will be a presentation after wards about national and local efforts to improve childhood nutrition through our schools.
The timely and cutting edge film, Two Angry Moms, addresses 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? The movie documents, step by step, the challenges and victories encountered when two moms start a grass-roots campaign aimed at establishing programs that safeguard the health of our kids through a more nutritious school lunch program. For more details about the movie please visit

Adam Warthesen, LSP Policy Program Organizer, will present information about current federal policy being drafted in Washington DC to improve the health and well-being of children while supporting local farmers and bolstering local economies. Stacey Ross from the Marshal Area Christian School will talk about their school lunch program named The Daily Bread that she helped found. For two years this volunteer and parent driven lunch program has been using local and organic foods to feed the students. There will be updates on the MN State Health Improvement Plan that is providing funding to improve nutrition in the public schools of MN. There will also be an opportunity to hear about efforts in Montevideo to improve the school lunches and how people can get involved to advance that.
