[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like the only option is to maintain the stauts quo (which everyone seems to agree is sub-par nutrition). Improvement isn't possible. Ever.[/quote] Like I posted above, if the goal is to make sure kids don’t have nutritional deficiencies, this is the menu. It’s the USDA guidelines, combined with budgets, that drive it. If you want better, you have to do it yourself. We do. The menu is for the lowest common denominator which is the kid that won’t eat freah food, but will eat something that resembles highly processed heat and eat snack food. No one gets scurvy or tickets, the end. Our school has a salad bar this past year, finally. Kid was allowed to eat anything from the salad bar every day and only allowed pizza once a week. The rest was absolute trash food, but again, would meet the daily recommendations for vitamins and minerals I’m sure, if we allowed him to buy it. [/quote]
