This group came up with the concept of the Food Police, which they said would be
outside of school, and determines what a student could or could not bring to school.
Parents and children would be given training on cooking and nutrition. Children would
get extra credit towards their grades, and parents could get money or food vouchers for
healthy meals. Classes would be held in churches and community kitchen where food
preparation and training could take place. They would be held bi-weekly over a number
of months. The graduation would include a cook-off contest of nutritious foods.
