More from Dale Carnegie's How
to Win Friends and Influence People:
If you want to have a person change in
a certain respect, act as though that particular trait were already one of
their outstanding characteristics. Shakespeare said: "Assume a virtue
if you have it not." And it might be well to assume and state openly
that the other party has the virtue you want them to develop. Give them a
fine reputation to live up to, and they will make prodigious efforts, rather
than see you disillusioned.
Hey, California!
Letters Needed to Provide Vegetarian Options in Schools
 |
| Barbara Gates in front of the California Capital. |
Barbara Gates, of Project
Healthy Beginnings, recently persuaded California Assemblyman Joe Nation
to introduce a resolution to include vegetarian options in public school lunches.
A summary of the resolution is:
Urging the State Departments of Health Services, Food & Agriculture,
Education and the California School Food Services Association to develop
nutritionally sound menu plans that will include at least one daily plant-based
vegetarian entree as part of the free and reduced price school lunch program;
and to include information on vegetarian/vegan diets in nutrition instruction.
Letters from California residents are now needed for the other California State
Legislators and Assembly Members. The resolution does not yet have a number,
so please refer to it as “The vegetarian school lunch option authored
by Assemblyman Joe Nation.”

Dear Senator XX:
[or Dear Assemblyman (or Assemblywoman) XX:]
More and more of California’s children come from vegetarian families.
It is important that these children have the option of eating healthy meals
at school. Assemblyman Joe Nation recently authored a resolution to provide
a vegetarian entrée as part of the free and reduced price school lunch
program.
Please contact Mr. Nation to express support for this resolution.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Your Name
