[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't find vegetables more expensive. Have you taken a look at how cheap beets are? Or cabbages? Why can't schools buy vegetables from wholesale producers and prepare those instead of getting the packaged garbage?[/quote]

Beets and cabbages??

Vegetables perish quickly. Schools would have to order them more often than frozen, which makes them more expansive. [/quote]

It just so happens that beets and cabbage are two vegetables with a long shelf life.

But that is what food in schools must be. Cooked on-site from fresh by on-aite personnel whose job is cooking, not reheating like a flight attendent. I'm so sorry that this wasn't the case for you or your children.  Many countries, rich and poor, manage to do that. That's how you feed children a nutrition and varied diet, and how you teach them to eat a nutritious and varied diet.[/quote]

Since many of us were raised, at school and at home, on a non-varied diet as children, be reassured that all is not lost.  Our kids are fine.  They'll grow up to be adults who eat a nutritious and varied diet.  [/quote]
