My First Central California Food Revolution Visionary; Whole Foods and Revive Cafe

I have not posted in a bit and well no excuses other than I have been posting on my other blog "True Confessions of  A Welfare Mother"  http://noturtypicalgma.blogspot.com/  but that is not to say that I have not been cooking or eating, hah to the contrary. I have also been admining my facebook page Central California Food Revolution and as of now we have 25 likes but I would love a lot more! One of my likes is Kyal Cali Organics http://www.facebook.com/kyalhamilton  pageowner Kyals family owns and operates Whole Farms and Revive Cafe, which is located in Fresno Californa. Though I have not personally been there I am planning a little trip there next weekend, I am excited about something they are doing.

Whole Farms and Revive Cafe, their raw vegan cafe are offering food stamp/SNAP and Electronic Benefit Transfer cardholder recipients the chance to purchase 15 dollars worth of produce or food for 10 dollars! Through a special grant from Roots of Change http://rootsofchange.org/  they are able to to offer this for a limited time. Basically until the funds are exhausted. I think this is an awesome way to encourage people to check them out. Not limiting themselves to a certain type of consumer, but rather realizing that all consumers whatever their financial situation have the right to consume high quality food! That is why I am choosing them as my Central California Food Revolution Visionary. Something they just inspired me to do!

I cannot wait to visit them and  come blog about them some more to show you what these Food Revolutionaries are doing! Plus I get to try a raw chocolate smoothie! What more could a girl ask for?

Join The Food Revolution!!!

Tonight Jamie Olivers Food Revolution will air and I just joined the community on facebook and requested to start a page for the Central Valley. It was approved and we are up and running. I want to encourage people from all over central Cali to join the movement. Childhood obesity is on the rise and so are diseases like diabetes and hypertension, especially in younger people every day. As a person who has struggled with my weight and also loooooves food it is my duty to get involved! The Food Revolution wants to create change... change in the food that our children eat at school, giving healthier options to them. Getting involved with school districts across the nation to get real food back into the cafeteria. Teaching kids and their families where their food comes from and teaching them how to prepare good healthy meals.These are all tools necessary to give our children a healthier future, one they deserve. Please join the Revolution in your community, to find your local community page or to request to start one go to this link http://www.jamieoliver.com/us/foundation/jamies-food-revolution/activists   and to join the Central California Food Revolution go to this link http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Central-California-Food-Revolution/179852995402251
