[quote=Anonymous]I don't want to get bogged down in the Affaire du Trixe, which wasn't even about Trix yogurt but rather about a lunch parfait that some schools were piloting. But my understanding is that MCPS (not just at one school, but in general) sometimes serves Trix yogurt with the free breakfast. Breakfast is optional, and schools with relatively high FARMS populations tend to put free breakfast on offer for all kids rather than singling out kids who qualify. It's less embarrassing for kids who qualify, and just easier to manage. No one has to eat it, and kids who are lucky enough to get healthy meals at home usually don't, in my experience. So...yeah, some parents want the free breakfasts to have healthier options with less sugar. That those parents tend to be well-educated middle class folks with time on their hands shouldn't really matter if the changes they are asking for would benefit all kids. [/quote]
