[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Individual schools can’t do anything about the food issue. It’s due to low school lunch reimbursement rates & Tyson lobbying to have their crap served to kids.[/quote]

That's true about school lunch but not true about all the garbage handed out by teachers as rewards or given out/sold at school events. My kid knows all about Doritos, every possible kind of candy, etc., because this stuff gets served during class parties, given out at the end of the week as a reward for doing well, and is present at every school event.

If you suggest creating school policies that encourage healthier eating by ensuring the kids are provided with healthy snacks and there is less overall junk, you will be accused of being classist or racist or both.[/quote]

Yes, I think we're in this terrible vortex where everyone agrees we're in a bad situation. But I think teachers are so reluctant to criticize parents, what with all the "you can't tell me how to raise my kid" rhetoric. [/quote]
