Fortunately, I ran into a former colleague and her daughter and they were able to explain what was happening at the field at Obama Academy this afternoon when I was driving home from school. Food Revolution Day! In conjunction with Jamie Oliver, the third annual Food Revolution Day was taking place all over the globe today.
I took home an organic purple pepper plant for my neighbor to plant in his garden.
Here is Jen’s daughter Wylie, feeding a kid at the petting zoo.
I sampled some grilled cheese and Non GMO Shagbark Seed and Mill Corn Chips at the Food Truck
Sugar display…
Help the Bees by planting the right plants
Lots of food to sample. This was on top of polenta.
East End Food Coop Exhibit
I ran into four people I know.

Food revolution day – what a great idea!
I agree with Sue — looks like a great day! Wonderful learning experience, and good food!!! Nice!
I like the effort that is being made to educate people about good food. Jamie Oliver is to be applauded in his efforts in this.
Your photos are marvelous. Our team is overjoyed that you came, and thank you for telling your story of the day!
Looks like great fun. I would have loved it!
“purple pepper plant” – say that three times fast! 🙂
I like seeing your friends/people you know. They look like a great group!
It is wonderfully heartening to see people beginning to go back to their roots where food and eating healthy are concerned
