[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue here is it doesn't matter what you think. School lunches are based on what most kids eat, not what the kids of over achieving DCUM members eat. I grew up in a poor home, we had fast food every night except when there was no food. I loved school lunch. Still do. It was the one meal we could count on. I loved the cut up veggies and the chocolate milk and the frosted flakes. Maybe your kids grew up with pureed organic leeks but most kids don't. And won't eat beets or cabbage in any form. [/quote] The fact that poor Americans have to eat fast food at home is all the more reason to make school meals healthier. And healthier doesn’t mean cabbage and organic puréed leeks. There are plenty of foods that are much healthier than burgers and hot dogs and fruit in syrup. Kids all around the world manage to eat decent food, I think Americans should be able to “endure” healthy food as well. [/quote]
