[quote=Anonymous]We pack out kids' lunches, but I do feel bad for kids who depend on the meals there. I think parents have to be less than down to earth with certain things. School lunches in the 70s and part of the 80s were at least real food. Budget cuts have led to everything being sent in as frozen foods that need to be heated up, so now it's heavily processed food. I guess it's not "down to earth" to want better nutrition for America's kids but things are different. We can put our heads in the sand or we can try to make things better. Again, it's not about my kids. But I feel like as a taxpayer, parents do have some say and if they can make things better through advocating, or offering up ideas, etc., why is that bad? Same with reduced recess because of focus on standardizing testing, the lunch time cuts where in some districts kids don't have time to eat....lots of problems in today's school that our generation didn't face.[/quote]
