If you're concerned about what kids in America have got on their plates, tune in tomorrow from 3 to 5 pm ET (12 to 3 pm PT) for "Feeding Our Future," a two-hour live special hosted by Bill Telepan.
As a parent and chef, Bill turned a weekly volunteer stint at his daughter’s public school cafeteria into a second job, working with the school’s staff to help create fresh alternatives to frozen hamburgers and pizza. Now he's taking his activism to the air, and our phone lines will be open at 866-675-6675 so you can...

It's really great to see this movement moving forward and finally getting the exposure it needs to help make a change. I've been following and supporting Jamie since day 1 so well done you guys for throwing your support behind it. I'll be checking in for sure.
Cheers.

I would love others that I know to hear this but are not available to listen to it live. How could someone listen to this 2 hour special after the fact? Is there a podcast available?? We're are just starting a task force at our charter school focusing on the tragic school lunch program. Great timing. Thanks.
