It is a common experience to hear adults state that children will not eat a healthy meal - all they want is junk. Our experience at the Harriet Tubman Charter School proved otherwise. The children love healthy food as long as it is creative, tasty, and fun to eat.

The problem is not the children, it is the adults. Children choose healthy over junk if it is available. The problem is that adults do not want to take the time to provide or prepare healthy choices for children. The children at the Harriet Tubman charter school had the courage to challenge the administration. As happens so often, the administration smiled and filed their letter away. Kids need us now - they deserve to be fed well.
