West High Event to Focus on Fast Food Companies' Responsibility

Given all of the interest on the District's proposed food policy, the following event might be of interest to SIS readers in the West attendance area:

To what extent should fast food companies be held responsible for their customer's health? West High School Students for an Informed Response (SIR) invite you to hear opposing viewpoints, debate, discuss, and learn about this question at SIR's Family and Community Town Supper this Thursday evening, March 2, at 7:00 p.m. We'll host David Schwartz of the UW Law School and Pete Hanson of the Wisconsin Restaurant Association, and they will discuss obesity lawsuits, nutrition, and other related matters. The audience will get a chance to join in the discussion and ask questions. We'll provide a dinner: a choice between pizza or bagels, along with drinks, salad, chips, and a dessert of some kind.

This should be a very informative and interesting event and hopefully some of you or others you know may be interested. For those with students interested, we are selling tickets through Thursday afternoon before and after school in the Ash Street entrance for $5.00. If you are interested in coming but don't have a means of purchasing tickets at West, feel free to email me (reubenhenriques@gmail.com) and let me know that you are interested; you may pay at the door. However, we do need a count beforehand of how many people are coming for calculating the amounts of food.

Thanks for your interest!
