[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We already had a national dialogue--remember Michelle Obama? Let's Move? Big changes in the school lunch program thwarted by the food industry, so badly that pizza is now considered a vegetable?[/quote]

Plus kids wouldn't eat the food. But to be fair, it sounded like it was not very appealing. Raw vegetables, salads, bland steamed vegetables. Our family eats a ton of vegetables but we cook them in interesting recipes (usually Greek). [/quote]

Other countries manage to provide good meals in their schools. France, Greece, etc

My kids attended three different schools in England and all three cooked fresh prepared food everyday.  It always smelled wonderful and looked appealing.  There was a full kitchen with a full cooking staff.  We can do it.  It will just cost more.

In the states, my kids do not want to buy lunch as they think it is bad.  We make them hot food each day and feed them fresh fruit and raw veggies.  They eat it all.  [/quote]
