We love greeting new tweeters and the regulars to our competition and party each week on Twitter and this week was an exciting one. We got fresh and tasty, talking frozen fruits and discussed the exciting recent news that the LAUSD has voted to remove flavored milk from their schools - that impacts over 680,000 students! This is amazing news for the Food Revolution. Check out our competition winner below – who receives a signed book from Jamie! - and the best tweets from the party.
