[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We already had a national dialogue--remember Michelle Obama? Let's Move? Big changes in the school lunch program thwarted by the food industry, so badly that pizza is now considered a vegetable?[/quote]

Plus kids wouldn't eat the food. But to be fair, it sounded like it was not very appealing. Raw vegetables, salads, bland steamed vegetables. Our family eats a ton of vegetables but we cook them in interesting recipes (usually Greek). [/quote]

Like look at the sample menu you can open here: https://www.fns.usda.gov/pressrelease/002312

I wouldn't want to eat this. Why is there ranch dressing almost every day? [/quote]

Because kids eat veggies when they have ranch to dip them in.  That one makes sense.[/quote]

Apparently not, since there was a ton of food waste. I don't know any kids (and not many adults) who actively want to eat raw broccoli with or without ranch. It would be better to cook them with herbs and spices. Making a healthy vegetable dish that tastes good isn't that hard. [/quote]
