Yeah. It is really tricky- food is such a fraught issue and there is so much junk science out there about food and dieting and nutrition. I guess I would look at it from more of a global level- talk to the vendors maybe? On the other hand, you also need to provide food that kids will actually eat, and I know some food programs have failed because the kids just won't eat the healthier options. I also might look at providing an after school snack/meal so that kids are getting three meals- or I might try to start a grocery store gift card program, or something. I honestly don't know a ton about how the food programs work so it's entirely possible that everything I suggest is either useless or impossible, so take it with a grain of salt! I feel much more confident about giving classroom suggestions :)[/quote]

I don't understand this?  If a kid is truly hungry they will eat what you give them, healthy or not.   Have you ever been to a country where people really are starving?  They're not picky about what they eat.  And if kids really aren't that hungry why are we providing free meals?[/quote]
