[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pack lunch.  This is not hard to figure out.[/quote]

Why should we have to? Why can’t the cafeteria serve decent food and give them a decent amount of time to eat?[/quote]

Oh and what about the kids that get a free lunch? Should they be eating crappy food because it’s free?[/quote]

Why should you "have to"?  Because they are your kids and you don't like the options.

I'm thinking if the junky, cheap lunches don't sell things might change.  Money talks.

You gave a point though.  They should offer healthier food.  The thing is, costs will go up.  I wonder what effect that would have on the program.

Get parents together and approach administration. [/quote]

Yes it would require a lot of creativity. Otherwise it would be too costly. Other school districts have managed to do it and so can Arlington. Obviously if OP is talking about organic lunches then that wouldn't be practical since organic is more expensive and there are no proven scientific benefits to organic food. However there are proven benefits to eating healthier food so that's where the focus should be. Also healthy food should be tasty. A side of undercooked boiled broccoli sounds disgusting to me and I am Greek - our diet is vegetable and bean heavy :) [/quote]
