Food For Thought...
has always served hormone-free and rbSt-free milk
|
"Got rbSt free Milk?"
|
Yes we do and always have!
We all learned when we were young to” Never fool with mother nature” and here’s the answer why we shouldn’t! rbST is a growth hormone that enables milking cows to increase milk production
beyond the cow's natural capacity. Many major dairies use rbST to make their milking cows more profitable, but often the increase in rbST causes the cows to develop bone weakness as a result of decreased calcium levels in their body. Berkeley Farms, a local milk
producer and daily farmer, does not use rbst’s. Several studies have shown that human consumption of milk from cows treated with rbST is safe, and that no harmful human health effects have been linked to it However, some scientists argue that more research is
needed on the affect that added hormones in animals has on the human food supply. While everyone argues, we will continue to serve milk the way we always have, as nature intended, just the milk and only the milk!

Food For Thought...
announces new Biodegradable trays for all lunches!
|
Your child's lunch comes from the earth and now so does their lunch tray!
|
Your Children's Planet is once again a safe place!
We worked with our tray manufacturer to design trays exclusively for our lunch program, and are very proud to announce an industry-first compostable hot school meal tray, currently in use in all our schools. Disposable bio compostable trays made from 100% reusable compressed paper. Not only are they created from a readily renewable resource, but they are safely and ecologically returned back to the earth in 2 to 3 months. These biocompostable trays are soak proof and can be used for both hot and cold items. Nothing escapes our desire to continually provide the best lunches from the best source, mother earth. These containers are the absolute most recent and advanced available within the food service industry technology.
Food For Thought is committed to providing the best homemade lunches while
protecting not only your wallet, but your children’s planet. By making this commitment
to use these containers, we reduce our plastic footprint on the planet by over
50,000 pounds of plastic annually or 87 miles of the former lunch containers laid
out end to end.

PROCESSED FOOD?
Did your mom buy your lunch frozen from a factory?
OR
Did she make it all from scratch?

We at Food For Thought
strive to recreate the lunch experience we had as children. A time that you would come home to home cooked meals that were tasty, presented well,
and oozed with TLC (tender loving care). Okay, the chicken ala king doesn’t fall under this category but we love to remember the good ol’ days.
Well, they are back! Food For Thought Catering makes its lunches the old school way, from scratch. We don’t repackage food like others, we create meals.
We don’t use chemicals and preservatives, our lunches have all natural, down home flavor because we don’t cut corners. Not frozen, not repackaged, and
not filled with unintelligible words, not ever!!! We get up very early each day, while you are still sleeping, to pick up our fresh organic produce,
handpicked by our chef. Our chicken is hormone free, skinless boneless chicken breasts and our beef is hand butchered, 100% Angus Tri Tip or 100% Angus Top Sirloin.
Our produce is the freshest you can get, not precut and bagged. Bottom line is… we care and it shows. We are responsible for insuring your child’s lunch
is the way you would make it if you had the time. We accept that charge with the utmost of concern, care and dedication each and every day
