Talk show host, Rachael Ray is apparently quite serious about helping to improve the quality of school food. She will be prepared to discuss the status of the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act, along with Feeding America CEO, Vicki Escarra. Also on the agenda -- sharing of ideas and what you can do to help.
