OLLI @Berkeley presents "Riding the Next Wave," a series of conversations with Sylvia Paull in which Sylvia and her guests will forecast the year's advances in the arts, culture, and technology
------
This conversation will take a look at the deeply flawed National School Lunch Program--a central source of nutrition for more than 30 million US children--and exploration of healthy, sane, sustainable alternatives.
