The video won't load for me. But having attended a public school- at least in the Salisbury area- I must note- Processed chicken patties and nuggets are not healthier than PB&J on whole wheat- also- what abotu kids with allergies? Nut allergies, dairy allergies, even allergies to GLUTEN which is in basically every school lunch I ever saw.
ReplyDeleteEating vegetarian at a public school is easy enough, sure, but what about kids whom are in vegan households? Whether they eat vegan for health reasons or personal choices, it's a royal pain in the but for vegan options at public schools too!
This is just an all around bad idea unless the city has a way to treat every one of those issues and any others that may arise BEFORE a kid misses a lunch.
wow. the government is now telling us openly that THEY know whats best for our children, not us, and they will use the law against citizens to make sure you get the point. Is it any coincidence that this is in Chicago???
ReplyDeleteWho cares about the food. What about our rights? This is nuts!
ReplyDeleteBAD idea!
ReplyDeleteNext, they'll do like Beaver Run school and talk about eating healthy while out on their notice board on the front lawn, they advertise McDonalds Night for 4/16!
I support it if and only if the teachers and staff have to eat it.
ReplyDeleteThis is an instance of the schools talking out of both sides of their mouths!
ReplyDeleteThey want the parents to "control" their kids and now they're taking away parental control when it comes to what they feed their child?
Really?
The kids are so FAT anyway I agree take away the lunches. GOOD MOVE FATSO...
ReplyDeletenext year you will be required to get a license to have a child
ReplyDeleteWhat I remember about eating school lunches...
ReplyDeletePizza was a cedar shingle, with so much orange grease on top you needed 3 napkins to soak it up.
Vegetables were boiled until they were mush.
Corn, peas(both a starch) and Ketchup all count as vegetables (thanks for Ketchup, Reagan).
It's better to drink sugary chocolate milk than water.
The grease in found beef is factored into the yield, so they are not allowed to drain off excess, unhealthy fat because it would cost more.
The schools sold sodas and candy.
How is this better than what I can pack for my child? Seriously, I would have to make a special trip to the grocery store just to make a lunch that is nutritionally worse.
School lunches are good for your children.
ReplyDeleteSo is a little bit of radiation.
Flouride is good for your children.
Mercury in low doses (as in flu shots and vaccines) is also . . . good for you
