[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised that people think that it is elitist or funny to want elementary schools to serve healthy food. There is a movement to provide fresh food in an affordable way in the DCPS. http://dcfoodforall.com/2010/01/ramping-up-farm-to-school-in-healthy-schools/ Michelle Obama has been behind healthy school lunches as well. Why is it crazy to ask if MOCO schools are cooking healthy fresh meals? I asked specifically about Potomac because I was looking into a town house there. With all the hype about the school district I am surprised that they only warm processed food. However, the point about wanting things to be fair and standardized across the county and keeping lunch prices at an affordable level is well taken. It would be unjust for only the schools in wealthier pockets to offer the more nutritious meals. Schools across the county [i]could[/i] have healthier food at a reasonable cost if this issue was made a priority. Here are some good articles about issues with school lunch in DC: http://www.theslowcook.com/blog/tales-from-a-dc-school-kitchen/[/quote] Wanting healthy food is one thing... thinking Potomac schools have or should have special lunch services is another thing altogether.[/quote] They should have different menus for schools west of the 270. These kids have refined taste buds. [/quote]
