IN her quest to improve the quality of food in America’s public schools, Susan P. Rubin has tried several tactics. She has emptied a bag of vending machine items onto a principal’s desk; she has delivered impassioned testimony to members of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies in Washington while holding up potato chips and lollipops; and she has sneaked cafeteria food out of her children’s school after being barred from showing up without an appointment.
But her latest strategy may be her most effective: “Two Angry Moms,” a 90-minute documentary featuring Ms. Rubin and directed by the other angry mom, Amy Kalafa, a filmmaker from Weston, Conn.
The film presents the good (a schoolyard in Katonah where students grow their own vegetables), the bad (chips and soda for lunch), and the ugly (what it is really like inside a school cafeteria kitchen).
