[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of people who can afford it. I would focus on those who don't and make sure that kids are fed healthy tasty meals. NHS advises 24g sugar/day for children aged 7 to 10, WHO talks about 35-42 g a day for elementary age range. FCPS: breakfast: Maple Belgian Waffle 15g + Juice 13g, lunch: Yogurt pack 16g, fat free chocolate milk 20g. There are better options, but those are also on the table every single day.[/quote] Personally, I'd rather they are fed food they will actually eat. [/quote] I agree, but at the same time this is how the habits and preferences are formed. Can see both sides of it - I grew up eating free lunches at school, and there was no meal selection - you eat (or don't) whatever is on the plate in front of you, food was bland and sometimes (oftentimes) inedible, yet, mostly healthy-ish :). I would probably prefer it this way still..[/quote]
