HEAL-SLO Has A New Brochure

Amber Hendry — Mon, 13 May 2013 15:48:49 +0000

Our first official brochure is now available! The brochure highlights what HEAL-SLO is, the mission statement, has information about our “Re-Think Your Drink” and “Go, Slow, Whoah!” presentations, provides brief overviews of the Healthy Communities Group and Buy Local Policy Group, and let’s people know how they can be more involved.

Perhaps most importantly, the brochure features all of our partner organizations; without these partners, HEAL-SLO would not be as successful as it is today. Check out the new brochure next time you see us at an event!

Buy Local Policy Passes!

Amber Hendry — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 23:56:24 +0000

A milestone in HEAL-SLO’s policy group, the County Board of Supervisors decided to pass a policy that allocates a portion of food purchasing to local vendors. Buying local not only directly supports our local growers, but it also supports our planet by reducing emissions that would have been caused by transporting food across the nation. San Luis Obispo’s The Tribune captures the story here.

Amber Hendry — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 18:11:53 +0000

VEG, a young blogger from the UK, has begun posting what she has every day from her school lunches and has asked outher children from around the world to send her their photos to compare.

The meals are judged on 6 categories:

Food-ometer – out of 10, how great the lunch was
Mouthfuls – to judge portion size
Courses – what was included in the meal
Health Rating – out of 10, how healthy the meal was
Price – what the lunch cost to buy
Pieces of hair – adding a litle humor to the posts.

It is very interesting to see how everyone compares.
