Dear Friends,
Before arriving in the land of supremely local food, where fitness is the national pastime, and moderate chocolate obsession is acceptable, I had the opportunity to work for one of the most prominent health and childhood nutrition non-profits in the country. In my professional life, I addressed issues of hunger, health, and food access. I met children who didn't know that potatoes grow underground, adults who cherished using their fresh food vouchers at the farmers' market, and families who struggled to put food on the table. These are issues I care deeply about, and once a year I ask that you care about them, too.
Last year, David and I hosted two Korean-themed (plus chocolate cake) benefit dinners and we were astounded and humbled by your generosity. So, uh, we can't do that this year. So this year, I present to you two options on both sides of the energy balance equation:
Option 1: Calories Out- Support the Walk Against Hunger this Saturday!
It may not be 80 degrees this Saturday, but the weather looks great for a 5K run or walk! This is one of my favorite events and while I couldn't attend last year (I was leading cooking in the classroom training for preschool teachers), this event is not to be missed.

Option 2: Calories In- Attend the Pancake Breakfast! (Philly Peeps)
We may not be able to feed you, but Mitch and Jennifer Prensky of Supper restaurant can! (Don't act too disappointed.) Dine on delicious pancakes, local fruit, and whipped cream, Saturday, April 27th under the Headhouse Shambles. Save $5 on pre-sale tickets before April 15th and kids under 5 eat free! All proceeds benefit The Food Trust's work to bring healthy, affordable food to communities like yours.

Every little bit counts. Thank you for your support.
In good health,
The Swiss Ms
