A
Hi
I'm
Jody
rissie,
the
host
food
food
for
thought,
and
thanks
for
watching
today,
I'm
joined
by
Karen
Fodor
from
the
Maryland
State
Department
of
Agriculture
she's,
no
stranger
to
us
in
Anne
Arundel,
County
she's
worked
with
us
on
many
programs
and
many
initiatives.
Welcome
Karen
to
food
for
thought,
Thank,
You,.
B
I've
been
with
a
Maryland
Department
of
Agriculture
for
the
past
ten
years,
I'll
be
celebrating
my
10th
anniversary
at
the
end
of
the
year
and
I've
had
a
great
opportunity
to
go
out
into
our
farmland
and
to
experience
the
different
farming
operations
that
we
have
in
Maryland.
For
example,
I
started
off
in
with
the
organic
certification
program,
then
I
moved
over
to
the
marketing
program.
I've
worked
with
our
farm
wineries,
I
work
with
organic
operations.
I
have
a
chance
to
work
with
our
cheese.
B
Producers
are
specialty
crop
producers
which
include
Christmas
trees
of
all
things
and
our
maple
syrup
producers
or
honey
producers,
and
then,
of
course,
my
love
specially
cropped.
The
fruit
and
vegetable
folks,
I
love
going
out
to
the
farms
to
our
fruit
and
vegetables,
producers
that
we
have
in
the
state
and
just
to
see
what
they're
doing
we
have
a
plethora
of
fruit
and
vegetable
folks
in
throughout
the
state,
I'm
so
happy
to
be
able
to
go
out
there
and
experience
what
they're
doing
wow.
A
B
And
not
a
lot
of
people
think
that
way,
because
when
you
think
of
Maryland,
they
don't
think
about
agriculture
and
so
number
one
producer
industry
in
the
state,
and
we
do
have
a
vast
array
of
Agriculture
productions.
As
I
said,
you
know,
I
do
work
a
lot
with
fruits
and
vegetables,
but
we
also
have
the
chickens,
poultry
and
we
also
have
beef
and
then
eggs,
and
so
we
do
have
quite
the
variety
of
agriculture
in
Maryland.
A
C
A
Think
that's
so
important
for
viewers
to
watch
likewise,
I
am
so
I
think,
each
and
every
day
the
work
that
I
do
and
how
I
look
at
the
menu
and
I
still
create
the
menu
I.
Just
to
look
that
not
only
did
I
serve,
two
children
of
my
own
I
serve
79,000,
plus
children.
So
I
think
tell
me
a
little
bit
about
your
family
and
having
a
daughter.
How
does
that
impact
the
work
you
do
as
well
as
the
connection
with
the
Anne
Arundel
County,
exactly.
B
So
my
daughter,
she
does
go
to
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools.
She
is
in
the
elementary
school
here
with
an
Anne
Arundel
and
to
tell
you
the
truth.
Every
day
when
I
look
at
that
school
menu,
I
also
feel
the
same
thing
as
you
do,
because
I
want
to
know
what
what
is
she
eating
on
the
school
lunch
menu
and
what
local
products
can
I
help
you
come
bring
to
the
school
system,
so
I
have
that
equally
passion.
A
Now
it's
interesting
that
you
say
around
the
state.
I
know
what
we
do
in
Anne,
Arundel
and
I
think
we're
going
to
send,
spend
the
second
part
of
the
show
really
specifically
auntie
Anne
Arundel.
But
why
do
we
have
homegrown
school
lunch
week
and
when
did
that
start
for
a
viewer
watching
I
know
what
we
do
here,
but
let's
look
at
it
across
the
state
of
Maryland.
Why
is
it
what
it
is
today
in
Maryland?
Yes,.
B
So
we
had
legislation
which
was
passed
in
2008
Governor,
O'malley
signed
it
and
which
was
which
created
the
jane
lawson
farm
to
school
program,
and
so
within
the
program
itself,
the
state
law.
It
said
we
want
to
buy
we're,
encouraging
school
systems
to
buy
local
product
Maryland
product
for
school
lunches
and
also
to
educate
the
children
about
where
their
comes
from.
You
know
so
often
times
when
I'm
traveling
throughout
the
state.
You
know
what
we're
seeing
is
children
are
disconnected
from
the
farm
and
they
don't
know
where
the
food
is
coming
from.
B
They
don't
know
how
it's
grown,
and
so
this
is
just
a
little
way
to
say
we
have
these
items
on
the
menu
and
guess
what
it
came
from
our
backyard
in
the
state
of
Maryland.
And
you
know
what
and
do
you
know
how
it's
grown
because
a
lot
of
times
you
know
they
go
to
the
grocery
store
and
they
think
an
apple
is
just
there.
They
don't
realize
that
it
came
from
a
tree.
B
You
know
in
the
squash
or
the
letter,
you
know
they
don't
know
what
it
came
from
the
ground
or
that
takes
a
person
to
produce
that,
and
so
through.
The
Maryland
Farm
to
School
program
was
just
a
little
way
of
trying
to
make
that
connection
of
how
the
food
is
grown
and
then
have
the
kids
experience
it.
You
know
what
under
school
lunch
line
and
I.
A
Love
being
in
the
education
business
that
you
do
you
tie
in
that
education
in
the
curriculum
piece?
So
not
only
can
we
talk
about
it
in
the
school
lunch
line,
we're
hoping
teachers
talk
about
it
as
part
of
curriculum.
We
could
talk
about
it
in
math
and
they
can
be
counting
how
many
apples
we're
grown
on
the
tree
and
you
can
combine
trees.
You
can
combine
colors
of
trees
and
colors
of
apples,
so
the
the
opportunity
to
really
educate
our
kids
on
the
big
picture
of
it
all
I
think
is
really
priceless.
Oh.
B
It
is
and
there's
so
many
connections.
Well,
people
don't
realize
how
many
connections
you
can
make,
especially
within
the
curriculum,
and
it
has
with
food
production
and
agriculture.
As
you
mentioned,
you
know
how
many
apples
are
on
the
trees
but
Indiana
with
the
chemistry
and
the
biology
of
growing
the
plant
and
looking
out,
and
how
does
it
grow
and
does
it?
If
is
it
affected
by
different
weather
conditions
or
fertilizers
or
sunlight
and
there's
so
many
things
you
can
do
with
the
education
part
and
the
curriculum
about
growing
our
own
food.
A
Now
one
thing
that
I
really
want
to
commend
the
Maryland
State
Department
of
Agriculture,
the
the
poster
that
you
brought
in
today
is
the
local
poster
and
I
just
think
you
know
whomever
created
it
hats
off
to
them.
It
is
priceless
to
show
a
book
and
to
show
all
of
those
beautiful
fruits
and
vegetables.
I
mean
the
tie-in
in
the
local
farm
message.
It
says
local
maryland,
farmers
with
curriculum
with
healthy
eating
with
growing
you
know,
academic
achievement
for
our
student
base
is
just
really
fantastic.
A
B
A
B
Exactly
you
know
in
each
school
system
is
different
because
there's
just
different
degrees
and
how
its
implemented
and
that's
the
beauty
of
the
program.
We
said
it's
a
volunteer
program,
but
we
said
it's
up
to
you.
You
know
it's
up
to
the
food
service
directors
on
how
they
want
to
implement
it,
and
so
it
just
you
know,
some
school
systems
will
buy
direct
because
they
can.
They
are
smaller
school
systems
versus
the
largest
school
system
such
as
Anne
Arundel,
montgomery
county,
prince
george's.
They
go
through
distributors
and
which
is
perfectly
fine.
A
Let's
share
with
the
viewers
a
little
bit
about
that
because
I
think
I
want
to
you
know,
send
my
hats
off
to
all
the
fellow
directors
like
myself,
I
think,
as
a
state,
we
do
just
a
bang-up
job.
I
mean
we
all
collaborate.
We
all
say
you
know.
What
are
you
going
to
put
on
the
menu
this
year?
Do
you
have
peaches?
Do
you
have
apples
and
we
compare
notes,
but
what
are
some
of
the
success
stories?
A
I
think
I
know
quite
a
few
of
them,
but
just
to
share,
because
I
think
it
is
so
much
bigger
than
just
an
Arundel.
So
somebody
watching
I'm
should
now
was
a
great
work
that
goes
in
harford
or
Washington
County.
Can
you
share
a
few
of
the
stories
from
other
counties,
because
I
think
we
should
highlight
the
great
work?
That's
throughout
the
state.
Oh.
B
Yeah,
it's
amazing
what
the
food
service
directors
are
doing
throughout
the
state
and
some
of
them.
I
have
just
really
embraced
this
whole
farm
to
school
idea
and
so
like,
for
example,
in
washington
county
because
they
will
buy.
They
do
both
by
and
direct
from
the
farmer
and
then
also
through
a
distributor
and
then
what
they
also
do.
B
Is
they
experiment
with
local
proteins,
and
so
they
are
buying
local
beef
coarse
ground
beef
is
a
little
bit
cheaper
up
there
than
I
found
out
that
it
is
down
here
for
ya
considerably
cheaper,
just
because
of
land
prices
the
way
they
are
so
they
also
do
a
lot
of
fruits
and
vegetables
and
then
they're
doing
local
proteins.
For
example,
they
bought
cheese
from
a
local
farmer
for
Chesapeake,
cheddar
and
so
they're,
making
a
macaroni
and
cheese
with
your
cheddar
over
in
Hartford
County.
B
There
they're
acting
like
a
distribution
system,
so
they
end
up
writing
a
grant
to
get
a
walk-in
cooler,
and
so
then
the
farmers.
What
they'll
do
is
they
have
a
cachet
about
10
farmers,
and
so
the
farmers
will
deliver
to
the
school
system
on
a
weekly
basis
when
it's
in
season
and
then
the
school
system
will
distribute
it
out
to
its
schools,
and
so
these
are
whole
fruits
and
vegetables
that
they
do
and
then
what
they
also
do.
B
Is
they
meet
with
the
farmers
on
in
the
beginning
of
the
growing
season
to
find
out
what
they're
going
to
be
growing
and
then
try
to
organize
their
main
user
menu
around
what
they're
gonna
be
going
to
be
growing
or
and
then
also
the
farmers
could
say?
Well,
you
know
the
school
system
says
I
want
some
more
lettuce
or
something
like
that,
and
then
the
farmers
will
see
if
they
can
also
grow
it
over
on
the
Eastern
Shore.
C
B
Thank
you
for
reminding
me
yes,
so
during
Maryland
homegrown
school
lunch
with
our
Farm
to
School
week,
which
is
in
September
with
some
of
the
school
systems,
will
do
over
there.
They've
tried
bison,
burgers
and
they've.
Also
this
year
they
did
Maryland
crab.
Caroline
County
did
Maryland
crab
soup,
which
was
really
great.
They
did
taste
testing
of
so
what
they
did.
B
B
A
B
Yeah
there
any
there
is
cheese.
We
talked
about
you,
use,
em,
teeth,
yeah,
oh
and
then
also
there's
sampling
of
oysters.
Last
year
there
was
a
taste
testing,
and
that
was
phenomenal,
because
here
this
was
over
in
Dorchester-
and
it's
very
you
know
it's
a
very
Waterman
type
community.
Yet
you
know
the
kids,
never
the
students
never
experience
the
oysters,
and
so
there
they
donated
oysters.
200
oysters
were
donated
from
an
aquaculture
farm
which
was
awesome
and
then
they
baked
them
there
on
site
is.
A
B
D
B
A
A
B
A
They
drew
pictures
in
what
now
mm-hmm.
Well,
that's
great
information
on
the
state
level,
we're
going
to
take
a
break
Karen
and
then,
when
we
come
back,
we're
going
to
talk
about
in
Arundel,
County,
specifically
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
have
going
on.
We're
also
going
to
talk
about
barbecue
that
is
held
every
year,
and
that
is
a
statewide.
A
D
When
a
school
bus
stops
to
load
students
as
a
driver,
this
is
what
you
will
see
at
150
feet.
The
bus
will
activate
hazard
lights
at
a
hundred
feet.
The
bus
driver
will
activate
the
amber
light.
They
will
start
slowing
down
at
10
feet
before
the
bus
stops.
They
will
turn
on
the
red
bus
light.
Their
stop
sign
will
come
out
and
students
will
begin
to
load
once
all
students
are
on
board
safely.
The
bus
driver
will
turn
off
red
light
and
move
forward
at
this
time.
It
is
safe
for
the
motorists
to
resume
movement.
A
A
We
had
so
much
good
discussion
about
just
what
you
do
for
the
state
and
what
the
Maryland
State
Department
of
Agriculture
does
for
all
of
the
local
school
systems
and
all
the
food
service
directors
like
myself,
I
would
love
to
talk
now
about
in
RL
de
County,
I
often
hear
from
parents.
They
don't
know
about
our
fruits
and
vegetables.
They
don't
know
about
all
the
great
work
we
do
so
can
we
talk
a
little
bit
if
you're
in
one
of
our
schools
just
for
a
viewer
mm-hmm?
A
What
would
you
see
if
you
popped
in
any
one
of
our
schools
on
any
day
of
the
week
when
we
look
at
fruits
and
vegetables,
because
I
I'll
be
the
first
to
say
in
Anne
Arundel
County?
We
really
don't
look
at
local
proteins
or
bison,
burgers
or
oysters,
or
any
of
those
things
we
talked
about.
We
really
have
kept
all
of
our
focus
on
fruits
and
vegetables,
which
is
great,
but
if
you
could
share
just
I,
know
you're
an
outside
partner
of
ours,
but
you're.
B
That's
unheard
of
because
some
schools
I've
gone
to
and
you
you'll
see
you'll
see
fruits
and
vegetables
not
displayed
as
well
as
it
could
be.
But
that's
you
know
because
things
were
busy
in
the
cafeteria
line,
but
when
I
go
into
the
school
systems,
I'm
just
hats
off
to
your
staff
and
what
your
staff
is
trying
to
do
and
to
make
that
appealing.
B
A
Example,
so
we
just
really-
we
just
feel
that
the
students
come
in,
they
may
not
have,
and
we
talked
about
it.
They
may
be
never
saw
a
cauliflower
before
so
what
better
way
to
showcase
it
to
have
it
be
full
and
plentiful
and
colorful,
and
then
we've
tied
in
tasting.
So
we
do
a
tasting
of
the
rainbow,
which
is
the
first
friday
of
every
month.
It's
a
new
fruit
or
vegetable.
We.
A
B
What
did
you
choose
right
exactly
because
I
know
my
daughter
does
by
school
lunch
on
a
regular
basis
and
I'm
always
asking
her.
So
what
did
you
eat
today
and
what
kind
of
fruits
and
vegetables
did
you
get
and
I'm
always
looking
at
the
school
menu
to
to
see?
Okay?
So
what
what
is
Jodi
serving
you
know,
what
kind
of
fruits
and
vegetables
are
you
serving
and
I
see
the
roasted
squash
and
the
roasted
brussel
sprouts
and
hats
off
to
you
for
trying
that
it's
it's
going.
A
Very
well
I
mean
again
it
was
a
little
slow
at
the
beginning
and
sometimes
it's
more
popular
in
one
school
than
the
other.
But
one
thing
that
we
do
and
I
think
you
know
dr.
our
lotto
being
our
superintendent
and
just
leading
the
charge
for
us.
Would
we
do
it?
It's
in
all
of
our
schools.
You
could
go
to
Cape
st.
Clair,
where
your
daughter
goes,
you
can
go
to
North,
County
High
School,
you
could
be
at
Hilltop
or
you
could
go
all
the
way
down
to
another.
A
D
C
C
C
A
Would
love
for
them
to
go
home
and
say
mom
and
dad
could
we
buy
this?
Could
we
try
them
or
if
they
say
to
their
aunt
and
their
uncle
and
their
grandmother
in
their
grandfather?
We
have
such
a
big
impact.
We
think
on
the
community
at
large,
then
not
only
just
on
our
students
in
Anne
Arundel
County.
Oh.
B
Definitely-
and
you
know-
and
we
seen
that
that's
why
we
see
the
school
system-
is
such
critical
partnership,
because
you
are
not
only
local,
but
you
are
exposing
the
children
to
the
various
fruits
and
vegetables,
and
so,
if
they
can
go
into
that
grocery
store
to
you
know,
take
their
parents
into
the
grocery
store
or
even
the
farmers
markets
and
say
hey.
This
is
what
I
tried
today
in
school
I
mean
it's
a
huge
impact
for
everybody
in
the
you're
whole
idea
of
community
of
wellness,
cultivating
community
wellness,
that's
key.
We.
C
A
So
too,
we
just
think
it's
made
such
a
difference
for
us
and
and
what
we
do.
Our
staff,
like
you,
said,
hands
down,
I,
think
I
have
the
best
staff
in
the
world.
I
can
go
in
any
school
at
any
time.
The
displays
are
beautiful.
They
just
they're
passionate
about
what
they
do
and
they
care
so
much
about
each
and
every
child,
and
it's
evident
with
each
and
every
day
with
what
they
serve,
what
they
eat.
We
talked
about
it
a
little
bit
before
the
show
a
few
years
ago,
maybe
seven
or
eight
years
ago.
C
A
Spent
over
a
million
dollars
just
fruits
and
vegetables-
that's
amazing!
So
it's
it's
so
good
to
see
them!
Take
it
on
the
plate
to
eat
it.
They
consume
it,
they
ask
for
more
it
really.
It
makes
each
and
every
day
so
important
to
us,
and
we
know
the
difference
we've
made
not
only
for
that
person
in
their
health
or
the
student
and
their
health
academic
achievement
as
well.
Oh
yeah,
of
course.
Now
when
we
look
I'm
being
Maryland
farmers,
we're
always
key.
How
do
we
find
more
Maryland
farmers?
A
How
do
you
and
I
coordinate
our
efforts
right
because
you're
the
connection
to
that
local
farmer
and
Maryland
farmers
are
so
important
to
us
our
radius
and
for
someone
watching
we
say
we're
going
to
look
for
a
local
farmer
within
150
miles?
Okay,
how
do
you
think
that
falls
in
line
with
maybe
a
retail
operation,
or
how
do
you
define
local
is
150
miles,
pretty
good
for
a
viewer
watching
how.
B
We
actually
there's
a
state
law
for
defining
local
with
in
Maryland,
so
what
we
ask
is
there?
A
state
law
that
was
passed
is,
if
you're
going
to
call
it
local.
We
ask
for
the
state
of
origin.
So
then,
if
what
we
had
found
out
with
some
of
the
grocery
store
chains
is
what
they
were
calling
local
was
coming
from
Florida
and
to
them.
It
is
because
it's
a
day's
drive,
so
the
miles
do
make
quite
a
big.
B
They
do
make
a
difference,
and
so
what
we
ask
that
the
law
that
was
passed,
saying
if
you're
going
to
call
it
local,
the
at
least
identify
the
state
of
origin.
So
then
it's
the
consumer
like
in
the
grocery
store,
for
example,
or
the
farmers
market,
it's
the
consumer
that
can
decide
whether
or
not
its
local
enough
for
them.
So
then
you
know
if
they
want
to
buy
a
georgia.
B
A
That's
very
interesting:
I
didn't
know
that
so
I'm
thrilled
I
learned
that
today
and
I.
You
know
I'm
happy
to
say
to
our
viewers
that
we
really
look
at
150
miles.
So
we
we
just
wanted
to
say
we
put
this
in
our
bids,
so
we
bid
all
of
our
produce.
So
we
spec
what
kind
of
apples
what
color
apples,
peaches,
pears,
plums,
cauliflower,
broccoli,
you
name
it!
It's
everything
is
out
there.
Just
imagine
what
that
bid
looks
like
it's
rather
big,
and
then
we
had
work
distribution
centers,
like
you
mentioned
earlier,
so
we
don't.
C
A
I
know
you've,
you've
helped
us
make
those
connections,
but
I
know
myself.
I've
been
at
many
different
local
farmers
and
all
maryland.
We're
able
to
go
out
were
able
to
see
the
crops
were
able
to
see
them
being
picked
I'm
at
harvest
at
harvest
time,
and
then
we've
actually
been
gone
to
a
local,
dairy,
so
I
know.
We
really
do
look
at
that.
We.
C
B
B
And
which
is
fine
because
with
the
school
system
again
because
it
is
such
a
large
school
system,
we
know
you
cannot
purchase
all
the
product
within
within
Maryland
just
because
Marilyn
land
mass
is
so
small,
so
yeah,
some
of
the
school
systems
have
to
you
know
expanded
to
go
to
the
surrounding
state.
Of
course
we're
partial
and
we
want
you
to
see
in
Maryland,
but
we
understand
you
know
you
can
only
do
what
you
can
do
and
get
the
local
product
as
soon
as
you
can.
You
know
so.
C
A
Could
request
up
to
30,000
servings
a
day
which
is
a
lot
I
mean
so
what
we
did
a
little
bit
of
math
right
before
the
show
right
and
we
looked
at,
we
served.
It
was
two
hundred
and
eight
thousand
pounds
so
for
someone
watching
today,
that's
a
lot
of
pounds
of
local
produce,
but
in
one
slice
I
guess
it
was
the
gala
apples.
It
was
over
a
million
three
hundred
thousand
apples.
So
when
you
look
at
the
each
of
them
of
what
we
serve,
it
is
just
mm-hmm.
It's
huge.
It.
C
A
B
A
B
That
you
can
do
you
know
apples
you
could
put
in
cold
storage
and
yes,
we
have
some
farmers
who
are
trying
to
extend
their
seasons,
because
we
have
the
hydroponic
lettuce.
Now
and
now
we
have
hydroponic
cucumbers,
which
I
just
found
out
and
Wow
tomatoes.
But
then
again,
your
price
points
obviously
have
to
look
at
your
price
points
and
what
the
school
system
can
afford
versus.
B
You
know
what
how
else
you
can
buy
it
then
I
need
to
commend
you
for
working
with
your
distributor,
because
I
know,
in
order
for
a
distributor
to
be
able
to
identify
the
products
of
local.
It
takes
a
major
feat,
so
your
spreadsheet
is
really
quite
impressive
and
I
do
share
it
around
with
other
people,
say,
look
at
what
Anne
Arundel
County
is
doing
they're,
getting
their
distributor
to
identify
what
farms
and
what
state
is
coming
from.
A
And
we
actually
get
this
so
not
only
do
we
get
something-
and
you
know
I
guess
this
is
just
like
one
of
the
reports
that
comes
through,
so
it
lists
all
of
our
items,
how
much
pounds
and
from
the
local
growers
so
we're
able
to
educate
the
students
every
day
it
came
from
colora
farms,
it
came
from
Arnold
farm.
So
we
right
away
say
this:
is
the
Maryland
farmer
just
brought
this
to
you
exactly.
C
A
Love
it.
We
had
the
opportunity
a
few
years
ago
to
sit
at
a
farmer's
table
in
their
house
and
say:
what
could
you
grow
for
in
Arundel
County?
How
could
we
really
make
you
know?
How
could
you
grow
and
harvest
something
for
us
that
we
know
we're
going
to
serve
and
put
on
our
menu
every
day,
which
is
really
that
connection
for
us
was
priceless
as
well
and
I.
Think
that
really
helped
us
connect
with
the
distribution
point
which
is
key
for
us,
because.
C
B
And
the
farmer
doesn't
want
to
do
that
either
because
you
know
it's
time
in
money
for
them
to
be
delivering
246
different
schools,
because
your
system
at
how
its
set
up
because
you
service
your
100
in
some
schools-
that's
a
lot
of
schools
and
then,
for
you
know,
that's
time
in
money
out
of
the
farmers
day
to
deliver
all
those
schools.
So
no
I,
don't
think
they
want
to
do
and
that's
why
the
distribution
system
works.
All.
B
A
B
B
And
so
it
happens
during
the
by
local
challenge,
which
is
in
July,
and
the
idea
behind
the
cookout
is
that
we
have
the
local
chefs
working
with
the
local
farmers
and
they
have
create
teams
of
you
know
of
the
culinary's
and
the
producers
and
when
they
create
this
product,
these
wonderful
recipes
and
then
we
showcase
it
on
the
grounds
of
the
Governor's
House.
And
it's
just
a
wonderful
event.
A
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
this
year
and
again,
I
can't
commend
you
yeah.
It
was
fantastic
to
taste
that
local
product
to
have
the
farmer
there
to
have
the
business
or
the
group
of
individuals
who
put
the
recipe
together.
It
was
priceless
and
then
you
got
a
cookbook.
Yes,
the
cookbook
cookbook
was
it.
That
was
like
the
the
perfect
ending,
because
you
now
can
go
home
and
you
can
try
to
prepare
that
at
home
with
the
same
ingredients,
exact
and.
B
A
B
A
You,
as
you
can
see,
the
Maryland
State
Department
of
Agriculture
is
key
to
all
local
school
systems.
Not
only
us
here
in
Anne,
Arundel,
County,
Karen
and
I
worked
together
on
many
different
initiatives
and
we
have
her
in
our
school
on
many
occasions
at
many
different
events
tasting
the
rainbow
tasting
the
greens
and
just
sometimes
to
come
and
have
lunch
with
her
daughter.
A
So
if
you're
one
of
the
parents
out
there
watching
today
come
in
and
have
lunch
with
your
de
son
or
daughter,
see
what
they'd
for
school
lunch
or
at
least
ask
the
question
every
night,
what
fruit
or
vegetable
did
you
have
today
at
school
lunch?
If
you
have
any
questions
or
comments
regarding
the
school
meals
program,
please
call
me
at
410
22
to
5,900
thanks
again
for
watching
food
for
thought
and
I'll
see
you
next
time.
