Florida Vapor Trail 2.0

A study in the Gard concluded that it is cheaper to put facilities in 17 kitchens cooking school than to renovate two UPC

My Bio Canteen informs us that the General Council of the Gard reorganizes the school canteens of colleges. Indeed, the GC30 is planning to close its central kitchens and re-open kitchen in college.
This work re-installation will take several years but by 2015 both UPC should close. Meanwhile, the UPC staff will be trained and re-integrated within colleges Gard.

Each kitchen is autonomous in its purchases. Purchase volumes are low it promotes the supply of small units by local farmers.
This whole process is part of a larger project General Council of the Gard, entitled "Sustainable Gard. Thus our service works in close links with other services of the department,
  • as the Agriculture department in charge of supplying
  • or the Directorate of Public Order has developed a model specification to allow our chefs to enter into contracts in respect of the procurement code.
They also have a strong objective of introducing organic food in canteens. Read Full Article

It's nice to see that some elected officials away from Marseille have understood the issues. Maybe this will finally convince our own elected to the canteens of Marseilles?

Speedo With Italian Flag On It

Another area where Parents rally for feeding organic

Feast Association, based in Nivillac in the 56 also includes citizens, ordinary citizens, parents or not wanting to take in hand the destiny of their children.
but it has several objectives including the right to engage in lobbying politicians to allow for high quality food in the territory by promoting producers' supply and by creating opportunities for these producers (canteens offering bio).

Again citizens know that only they can make a difference to support farmers and preserve the health of children.

At Marseilles also a group of citizens acting since 2009 because in 2011 the contract of service may be completely changed. Everything is still possible! We are at a key moment.

  • the specifications of the biggest market in Europe contains no numerical target (ask us a copy we can send it by mail) . A bit like if a company said its sales "must be good, at best" but without giving specific numbers, but to motivate them with bonuses ... you think it works?
  • providers in turn are able to eat meals for children natural or organic, in season, from a local supply ... they do in other cities. So why not in Marseille?

The real question is: what is the budget that the mayor of Marseilles is willing to spend on children's health and the maintenance of farming around our city? Arbitration is just there.
  • If providers make proposals with healthy food, good, organic, local, but the mayor prefers to increase the budget for the velodrome or "Day blue "(????!!!) instead of spending it on feeding ... providers will be sent back. Or one who will propose the budget the cheapest, and therefore the least quality will be selected. But that no one will tell you.
  • The speech will be again to make you believe you parents that you'll pay more if you mobilize, or the mayor will stop caring for organizing this service (it can not be said to manage, or provide it since ' they are merely intermediaries are centralized under the dispatcher for taxpayers, then rely on providers to provide meals).
  • The mayor can not stop this service, it would really be frowned on by the voters, but also beyond our borders Marseilles (see the garbage strike that became the subject of which you speak when you get out of town).
  • In many Commons, parents do not pay as much or hardly, just because politicians are motivated by this question. But that motivate elected? it is the citizens ...

What? Send an email to confirm your involvement.

We can create a formal association to really bring together members, elected to show that citizens are concerned, act with a budget that allows us, finally be received by elected as legal representatives of a number specific families or taxpayers.

Pound Cake Mix Recipes

Parents urged to act for organic canteens in Marseille than elsewhere in late 2010, more than ever!

WWF, also met with members of the group "Let's change the canteen" Marseilles, Recovery (finally) his campaign "Yes to Organic Food in my trunk" initiated in 2009.

Parents and citizens are the recipients of this campaign.

It is essential that parents know that yes, the same amount, their children may eat healthy, local, fresh, seasonal, no pesticides, no GMO, no preservatives, no additives!

So why in Marseille than elsewhere? Because with more than 45,000 meals per day in kindergartens and elementary the city of Marseille is the largest market in Europe.
course, it is divided into 2 (and fortunately but not sufficient) North and south of Marseille. But with this magnitude, providers who can respond to this tender are very few (3 or 4).

Why in 2010, more than ever, especially in December and January 2011? Because the specification written by the mayor of Marseilles, as a customer, was sent to three contenders: Sodexo Avenance, Scolarest in December 2010. And, unlike many cities, it contains no specific objective, quantified, the amount of fresh, seasonal, organic, fair trade ... As if national movement-related health concerns, local sustainable development, support local farmers, did not pass by Marseille.

We parents or not, citizens of Marseille, so taxpayers "financers of canteens (in addition to what parents pay directly to providers), we can act.
ask that our money, not that of the mayor but to his constituents, is used to provide elementary school children in Marseilles, healthy food, balanced, tasty, educational, allowing them from the earliest young age to find food.

Fuji Finepix F480 Remote Capture

speaks canteens Marseille on 01/12/2010

The Journal of LCM from 18:45 raised the issue of school canteens. They had interviewed a member of the group "Let's change the Canteen" but in the end it was removed for installation.

The journalist starts his subject with a first big mistake that is to say that Sodexo has held the contract. She forgets that the neighborhoods north of Marseille are also provided by Avenance.


The company Sodexo dares to highlight its electric vehicles as proof of its commitment to environmental ... But is it primarily a transport company or food?
What should be his first gig? Healthy diet, with fresh, seasonal, local children in full development.

Ah, Greenwashing when you hold us, it is hard to resist ...

In the press this kind of subject is called an infomercial and the advertiser pays for that. On TV, it's called ?? free advertising?
