Nanny State PING!
Well, are the student “accessing” the salad bars or do they merely “have access to” the salad bars? And if the “sales” of fruits and vegetables have gone up due to the salad bars, has the “consumption” gone up proportionately?
The devil is in the details!
My daughter, and many of her friends, all bring their own lunch because on average the cafeteria food sucks. the rules are even worse - they can purchase nothing a la carte, it’s an all or nothing deal. So if a kid ants a piece of fruit, they have to buy the entire lunch or no fruit.

“School administrators, teachers, staff, and parents are supportive of school salad bars,” another finding read.
For FEAR of Moochie’s WRATH and loss of their children, jobs and/or tenure!
And just how germy is a salad bar?????
I gave them up many many years ago after my Dad and I went to a buffet. We had just taken our seats, looked over at the buffet when a man expelled a horrific amount of goob out of his nostrils, wiped it off with his hand and then picked up the entre spoon with the same hand. Just think everyone there after who ate chicken with their fingers or ate a roll. . .ingested the germs from that man’s nose. I know I can go on and on but that was the defining moment of the salad bar/buffet dining for me. I know the horrific stories behind the scenes ordering a la carte :) but given the times. . .I truly believe the hedge of protection has been lifted from us. . . .everyone needs to claim Psalm 91.
Thanks for the ping!
