Dear All, It is a stupefying fact that our president was mocked for sharing his love of arugula.
Would anyone wish to experiment in their city in an Arugula As Birthright Project. Vision is to realize the day when each and every one of our students has tasted arugula fresh from the plant before they graduate from 8th grade. Please let me know if you would like to brainstorm this project for your city. Here's what I have sent a group of teachers working on food issues in Milwaukee. Responses appreciated. Dear _____, I can offer 25 pots of arugula, gratis, for Milwaukee teachers who would keep them at their schools and allow some if not all of their students to taste arugula, direct from the plant! What a nation we will become when arugula and/or wheat grass are substituted for cigarettes and potato chips. Is it absurd to imaging each and every Milwaukee student exposed while in school to the taste of fresh from the plant arugula, spinach, or fine lettuce that tastes like "lion's food!" A taste of fresh arugula as birthright of our children? I would appreciate participating teachers/principals send me an e-mail pledging to record the results of this experiment at The Arugula Journal http://www.milwaukeerenaissance.com/TheArugulaJournals/HomePage I'll let people know where they can pick up their arugula, once I know what neighborhood participating teachers live in.
