But read to the bottom. You can't piss off everybody and still win.

Very heartwarming. It's funny I'm often
nostalgic about my childhood school lunches
something I would never have imagined
when I was actually having to eat them.

I'm heartened by both the fact that the local education authority were made to see sense quickly and the astounding amount of money this girl has managed to raise for such a worthy charity. I think she's someone we should be very proud to have in our society.

Yeah. How often do adults say, "Well, there's nothing you can do!"

Here's a 9-year old telling them they're just making excuses--and proving it.

Damnit, I want to be a dad. Very rare that that happens.

We anguish about getting kids to be enthusiastic about healthy, sustainable food - to not prefer the bad stuff, not waste the good stuff, and not be entitled little monsters who whine about when their next chicken nugget is arriving. And then a child emerges who, out of her own creativity and curiosity, does all of that, and gets other children around the world excited about doing it too. And then she gets told she is offending the powers that be, and is slapped down.

Those would be the powers who told a 9-year-old that she was making "bad choices" out of the food being served at her school, without ever taking responsibility for what they had allowed to be offered.
