[quote=Anonymous]I didn't have kids in school during the Obama administration, so TBH I wasn't paying a lot of attention. But yeah, I thought improvements were being made so that is part of why I'm surprised. I picked up the free food for the first time on a cheeseburger day. The kids ate only 1/2 of the hamburgers, but loved the grapes and carrots. I guess now since we're all home parents could cook the veggies if they think their kids would eat them cooked instead of raw. I realize that isn't a long term solution though. I can see the food lobby thwarting good nutrition in school. But I think we're getting waste either way. If the food bank won't take the sugary cold cereal and prepackagd muffins, they're going in the trash. We don't eat that stuff anyway and we're not going to start now. TBH I might not continue picking up free lunch because I don't like throwing food away. But it was interesting to see first hand what is offered.[/quote]
