If you live in Pennsylvania, go to https://t.co/7YbfEUXWN5 and tell your reps that you want kids' lunch debt cancelled and universally free school lunches established state-wide. Thanks Pennsylvania Cancel Lunch Debt Coalition!! You're doing awesome work!

Reminder that tonight (7PM EST) is a panel on the history of school meals in the US (and I'll say some about England, too) with some really awesome folks. https://t.co/o915nYZxCt. @BMIatWork @VaTechSOE

Great opportunity for someone who might want to live in England for a while and study school food there:
