[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I completely disagree that it is a "white" thing to question whether the school should be serving white bread.  I say this as someone who has a family full of people with diabetes and high blood pressure.  Wanting healthy food for your kids is not "white."  If there is ever going to be a shift at LT, the white families and black families (and Asian and latino families) must raise concerns at the school and hold it to the same standards they would have if their kid attended Brent. Or SWS.  It's absurd to let LT get away with providing less.  Maybe "white bread" isn't the best example of this, but frankly this conversation is exactly why we are leaving LT. [/quote]

Of course wanting healthy food for your kids is universal -- & I know plenty of white people who eat white bread (my husband and step-dad among them). But there's definitely a race/class component to the white bread complaints. If the festival featured a fancy French cheese crammed with saturated fats, I doubt you'd hear the same complaints.
