Chef Tom Colicchio lobbies for better lunch
Tom Colicchio during a visit to the White House garden.
(CNN) - Tom Colicchio wears plenty of hats – chef, restaurateur, Top Chef judge, father of two, son of a lunch lady and now, advocate for H.R.5504, the Improving Nutrition for America’s Children Act.
See his testimony before the House of Representatives and stay tuned for Eatocracy's exclusive interview with Colicchio on the topics of school nutrition, the Gulf Coast oil spill and how he's using Twitter to manage his message.

Deeply embedded into the subconscious of Tom is his Mom's voice after a day as a school lunch lady.......amazing how God can raise up a child to be a voice for his people. Go nutrition!!! :-)
I think the republicans will vote against it, unless they include Freedom Fries. After all, oil and grease are the mainstay of the GOP diet.
So this guy wants to dictate to parents what their children eat ? Appears he will move into the Obamist inner circle now. Michelle is titallated at the thought of gaining control over our children's food intake.
This is definitely a worthwhile project. Our children are obese and school lunches do nothing to improve this situation. Nutrition should be taught in schools in conjunction with healthier lunches being served. Children are our future and we need to teach them well and keep them healty. Kudos to Tom.
'Marxist dogs' must be a graduate of Beck U. He has a conspiracy theory for everything.
Lying republican jackals are ruining our country.
You can talk eat healthy all you want but kids, especially in middle and high school will only eat what they want to eat, and that is not the healthy food because the healthier it is the less good taste it has. And that is a fact Jack!
Yes Marxist Dogs, he wants to feed our children food with a secret sauce that erodes their brains and transforms them into Communist loving parrots. It's another one of Obama's evil brainwashing conspiracies to get at our children!
(By the way, in case you are too dumb to tell, I am poking fun at your little post and not supporting it.)
Tom!?............Please pack your knives and go!
