I was waiting for someone to bring this up. I would go eat lunch at my youngest's elementary school occasionally. The lunch ladies would automatically put an apple or some carrots on all the trays. Guess what ended up in the trash can, untouched? About 90% of the fresh fruit and veg, and even the milk, in most cases. The same kids who would ditch the good stuff would be back in line for ice cream bars later...
It just made me sick when I saw all the waste. And so many of these kids are the ones who are supposedly our *hungriest* Americans.
