Cooking Co-Op and the New York Times

Be sure to read the article in this week's NY Times, "Saving Time and Stress with Cooking Co-Op":http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/23/dining/23coop.html. This is why I am so passionate about cooking co-op. I truly believe this movement could change the world. Cooking co-op is a way to make natural foods as opposed to processed foods affordably available to the average family. I am doing some "detective" work to find out what" at risk "children are doing/ not doing for meals. I suspect fast food plays too big a part in there lives. In Parachute, CO a 13 yr. old was invited to a friend's home for a good home-cooked meal. When asked if she would like some salad, she asked- what's salad? English was not her second language but apparently heathy meals
are in short supply in this girl's home. What if it became the rage in this country to see how much more fun you could have while saving oodles of money with family dinners in your own home - cooking co-op style?
