Why are these two moms so angry?   It's lunchtime ... do you know what your kids are eating at school? How would you feel if you found out it was mostly processed foods, fries, chips, sodas and pizzas?   Come see "Two Angry Moms," a documentary tracing the efforts of  moms around the country working to make sure their kids, and all kids,  have access to the real, healthy foods they need to grow, learn and  succeed. PLUS, find out the situation in Oklahoma City schools!  Sponsored by Transition OKC, EatWise OKC and IAO.
