[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compare the Sidwell lunch menu to your local public and you have your answer. Add in food deserts, too.[/quote]

I work in a Title 1 school and see what they serve the kids for free breakfast, lunch, and snack. All microwaved processed foods like hot dogs, cheesy pretzels, chocolate milk, nachos with cheese dip, etc.[/quote]

This is what they offer to ALL kids at ALL public schools now.  [/quote]

The food is definitely terrible, but the parents contribute to make it even worse. I was giving my kids a small pack of goldfish and a banana for snack. Their friends are almost uniformly bringing skittles, pockies, gummy bears, and other bullsh*t so I'm constantly getting told how I'm such a strict parent. I pointed out that like half the kids in their school are fat and they rebut with "not in our class" (they are in the AAP class where somehow the kids eat garbage for snack and are still thin). My response is that their friends will have diabetes soon after college. It's so unfortunate what we are doing to our kids in America. I went to school in Germany as a kid and the food there is actually like a home-cooked meal with actual food groups compared to what we get in the US.[/quote]

I can not stress this enough: F alllll the way off. 
You’re patting yourself on the back for giving your kid Goldfish? That’s no better than the stuff you mention. [/quote][/quote]
