Driven to reform school lunches as concerns grow over childhood obesity and diabetes, Ann Cooper is not your typical lunch lady. The former chef, who spent much of her 30-plus-year career working in white-tablecloth restaurants and catering for celebrities, is now best known as the "Lunch Lady" in Berkeley, California, schools. In cafeterias there she has tossed out fried, frozen and sugary foods and replaced them with fresh, seasonal, and mostly organic meals.
