Isn't it TIME to do something??? Take a Healthy Stand.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Are you against the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture<\/strong>?\u00a0 Do you wish that healthier foods were being served to our school children?<\/p>\n

Yes?\u00a0 Then I\u2019ve got some promising news for you!<\/p>\n

During a media telephone briefing, hosted by the Pew Charitable Trusts\u2019 Campaign on Human Health and Industrial Farming, which included representatives from Chartswell-Thompson; the nonprofit organizations School Foods Focus and the Healthy Schools Campaign; Whole Foods Market (affordable transport for the birds); and Miller Amish Country Poultry (the supplier) \u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 The Chicago Schools announced that Chartwells-Thompson Hospitality (their main food-service company) will begin buying and serving chicken drumsticks from chickens raised locally and without antibiotics!<\/p>\n

Why is this important?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Chicago First to Stand Tall:<\/strong>\u00a0 Chicago is the third-largest school district in the country, and the largest district in the country to endorse feeding our children anti-biotic free birds.\u00a0\u00a0 Their desire to provide antibiotic-free meat to their students is a major step toward protecting their students and their student\u2019s families.<\/p>\n

2. Health vs. Money:<\/strong>\u00a0 Feeding our children meats that have been raised on antibiotic feeds has been fueled by money; for economic reasons.\u00a0 We\u2019ve always known that antibiotic overuse on farms increases the presence of resistant bacteria in the environment.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Real Food vs. Nuggets<\/strong>:\u00a0 This healthful move brings real food back into schools. \u00a0This chicken will be cooked in the schools themselves, rather than dishing out pre-formed nuggets and patties.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s about time, isn\u2019t it?\u00a0 The health of our children should come first.<\/p>\n

Where do you live?\u00a0 \u00a0Do you know what your schools are feeding your children?
\nIsn\u2019t it time to ask?<\/p>\n

Spread the word … NOT the icing!<\/p>\n
