Center for Food & Justice
CFJ Affiliated Programs
The Center for Food & Justice collaborates with a number of other organizations and groups including the following.
The Healthy School Food Coalition is a group of committed parents, teachers, students and community members working to develop comprehensive food and nutrition policies in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The Coalition is focused on the connections between what kids eat and how they perform in the classroom and the increasing rates of childhood obesity and other health related diseases due in part to the kinds of food and drinks that dominate community and school food choices.
