One Great Chef

This School Lunch Week, we’ve selected and are celebrating 10 School Food Renegades from across the U.S. who challenge status quos and reimagine what's possible when fresh ingredients, creative menus, and genuine care come together on a lunch tray.

Meet School Food Renegade Robin Rinehart! With 40 years of experience, Robin began her career in food service as a baker and cook at Mohawk Valley Elementary in Roll, Arizona. Throughout her career, she has also worked in other school districts in the area, such as Wellton Elementary and Dateland Elementary, and acquired a wealth of knowledge and experience over her years in the food service.

So while we still have a few agencies working their asses off to protect our citizens...
The bird flu (Avian Influenza A) is showing up in dairy cattle. Now multiply the cost of the eggs where hens come to laying age in 18 weeks so about 5 months to replace a laying hen who died due to the virus versus 2 YEARS for cows to become milk producing. So with a nearly 200% increase in eggs for the turn around, what do you think is going to happen to MILK CHEESE Yogurt prices?

Now think about what products you buy that need eggs and dairy to be made- breads, soups, prepared dinner products, doughnuts, cereals, ice cream.

This is why we need Federal agencies, science and people who understand how the huge food systems work to understand the domino effect of huge issues like this. Not an unelected narcissistic, billionaire who doesn't give a flying fig about you or your family trying to determine with coders what to decimate next.

Investigation of Avian Influenza A (H5N1) Virus in Dairy Cattle The USDA, the FDA, and the CDC, along with state partners, continue to investigate an outbreak of Avian Influenza A (H5N1) impacting poultry, dairy cows, and people in multiple states.
