Build a salad campaign. Lunch, and more education...

DC public schools are back in session, and their food guru is asking for volunteers to help with an "eat more salad" campaign.  This sounds right up the alley of Nat and Nick, the founders of SweetGreen, a salad and frozen yogurt (SweetFlow) spot now in ten locations in the DC area.  These guys have a curriculum that I am looking forward to see that is designed to help DCPS students learn about all the fun that can be had with salads.  Just like salads in schools, it is a step in the right direction.  You know what I am going to ask next though, how can we make salad ingredients cheap enough that those salad-building lessons learned by day are not substituted for less healthy offerings by night?

Tasty is good, tasty + education is better, tasty + education + access is priceless.  Let's see what we can do to make the price less. In the meantime, if you want to lend a hand, check MD's WaPo blog link for the details by clicking on the title of this entry.
