Lunch Ladies and Weil-ly advice
Sloppy Joe and Chris Farley dancing together? That’s my first thought when I hear the term “Lunch Lady”. This year at Natural Products Expo West we are bringing the “Renegade Lunch Lady”, Ann Cooper.
Ann Cooper focuses on bringing healthy and sustainable options to lunch trays throughout the country. She is renowned for her work with the Berkeley, CA school district and locally here in Boulder, she has been working with the Boulder Valley School District Food Project to improve menus.
Thursday at 4:30 p.m. she will be part of the Healthy Children, Healthy Futures panel and Friday at 11 a.m. she will be walking the floor with Southern California school officials (and members of the press) who are looking to improve their menus.
Speaking of healthy and sustainable, Dr. Andrew Weil has been promoting healthy eating, lifestyles and supplements for decades. This year at Natural Products Expo West he will be a featured speaker at 1:30 on Friday, addressing The Role of Food and Supplements in Healthcare of the Future. Dr. Weil’s philosophy of disease prevention by living and eating healthy can give retailers great insight on how to market to consumers during a struggling economy and healthcare system.
Offering further insight on how to grow your business is Joel Makower, a featured speaker on Thursday at 1:00 pm this year at Natural Products Expo West. Joel is the founder of greenbiz.com and will educate attendees on how to partner your business with green trends for success.
Success at Expo West starts with great education! Be sure to come Thursday to take advantages of great education a day before the show floor opens.
