b'School meals are a choice for many. But for millions of kids, it\\u2019s not a choice. It could even be the only meal they\\u2019ll get. Cafeteria Man is a film that chronicles an ambitious effort to \\u2018green\\u2019 the public school diet serving 83,000 students in Baltimore - and later, over 200,000 students in Memphis. Toni Geraci IS the Cafeteria Man. Geraci leads the charge to replace pre-plated, processed foods with locally-grown, freshly-prepared meals. Geraci\\u2019s bold vision includes school vegetable gardens, student-designed meals, and nutrition education in the classroom.'
