[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people are being silly about their definition of processed. For the majority of people processed is mac & cheese, not a block of cheese. It’s a cup of noodles and not a box of pasta.

I think people need to be smart about their food choices, but I do not support a ban on processed food.[/quote]

But what if the cup of noodles is all organic dried vegetables and bullion?  I just don’t see the point in drawing these lines.  Make healthy food cheaper and more accessible.  Teach kids how to cook and educate people better about why this food is good for you.

My kids are in MCPs and there is zero education about cooking and the education about food health is abysmal.  Half of it is still promoting the low fat nonsense from the 80s as if they were a bunch of middle aged women doing jazzercize in Long Island.  There was a great article in the post a year or two ago explaining how a variety of fruit vegetables promotes a healthy gut biome that then increases brain health, etc.  this is what we should be teaching kids, along with how to prep and cook these foods in delicious ways.  McPS extended their worthless health class by a semester and it’s just more of the same stupid stuff that the kids hate and don’t listen to.  They would have been better off making the second semester a cooking class in which they learn how to cook healthy food from a variety of different cultural backgrounds.  Kids would actually like that class and it would be useful to them.  [/quote]
