But if you're a kid used to eating highly processed foods loaded with salt at home, the food they serve at school is going to be extremely bland. If you're a kid who is rarely served a vegetable, the stuff floating around in a curry is going to look really weird. I'm not sure what the solution is, but I think they could start by having most of the food prepared at the school instead of provided by a food service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-46762420426062195392017-04-14T14:52:01.654-04:002017-04-14T14:52:01.654-04:00Almost everything the government touches turns int...Almost everything the government touches turns into a mess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-78113176660481357232017-04-14T14:47:35.405-04:002017-04-14T14:47:35.405-04:00It was horrible when I went to school back in the ...It was horrible when I went to school back in the late sixties and seventies. Most of the vegetables were canned. Disgusting pea and carrot medley or succotash. Canned gravy with no salt or seasoning. Most of it ended up in the trash. I was allergic to milk. They made me buy it anyway, and that ended up in the trash unopened. Because of this I packed my lunch until high school. <br />If they would only serve food, like most people have at home or in a restaurant, you would see much less waste. You can have healthy food without much salt if you use spices. If food was contracted out to the private sector and the government lowered some of the strict guidelines, you would see much less food wasted and happier kids. To this day, I cannot stand the smell of a school cafeteria.
