[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My school offers far few menu choices than my DD’s school a mile away. My school is one of the highest farms rate in the district. The cafeteria manager argues that the students won’t eat the healthier options. However, when my students conducted several studies, they found that students ate much less meat at home (lots of rice and beans or rice and peas) and were open to at least trying vegetarian entrees offered at the neighboring school. They wrote up everything and the cafeteria manager still said no. [/quote]

Then why are so many kids overweight? [/quote]

Because chemicals are cheaper than food, and salty, floury carbs are cheaper than protein, and many people gain weight easily eating salt, fat and low fiber carbs. Price out one serving of a decent ( not “ delicious “) apple.  Price out a serving of high fructose filled, shelf stable apple sauce.  Price out lean meat vs fattier cuts.  Price out a veal chop vs a breaded hydrogenated oil filled salt infused “veal cutlet”.  Basically, it’s because “processed” and carb heavy ( Cheetos vs actual cheese) cost less per serving, with the possible exception of plain frozen vegetables which cost less than fresh.

Just because one is vegetarian, it does not mean healthier.  The vegetarian stuff in public is far from healthy. [/quote]
