Bettina Siegel loves cupcakes, shops for groceries at the same Houston stores as everybody else and works at packing healthy lunches for her two kids.
"I'm not a food Nazi," she says.
When the house empties each weekday morning, however, the lawyer turned writer, blogger and advocate turns her laserlike focus on the food served in public schools here and around the country and the broader question: How do you raise healthy children in today's sugary, salty, super-sized food environment?
In her blogs, the Lunch Tray and the Spork Report, Siegel writes about controversies ranging from pink slime in the cafeteria to birthday cupcakes in the classroom. She tries to represent the millions of school children dependent on school meals - "a group that doesn't have much of a voice."

Tim, thanks for posting this! But I was laughing at the reporter's choice of words -- if I was "whizzing" my way through Yale, why so many late nights in Sterling? :-)
