With Trump rollback, school lunch could get more white bread

Is white bread about to make a comeback on school lunch menus?

After complaints about taste and costs, the Trump administration rolled back a rule that required foods like pasta and bread be made with whole grains. The cafeteria directors who lobbied for the change say they just want greater flexibility to serve foods like white bread — which are more processed and have less fiber — when whole grains don’t work.

In Vermont, the relaxed rule means white rice will be served with beans again. In Oregon, macaroni and cheese may return. And in South Dakota, students may notice a change with their soup.

“The staff asked right away, ‘Oh my God, can we go back to the other saltines?’” said Gay Anderson, a school lunch director and president of the School Nutrition Association, which represents cafeteria operators and suppliers like Domino’s and Kellogg.

The rollback addresses rules on grains, milk and salt championed by former first lady Michelle Obama. …

A $1 loaf of white bread is nasty.

I eat a lot of whole wheat bread.

But, if I’m having a tomato sandwich, it has to be on white.... with Kraft mayo.

I also want peanut butter on white bread and a grilled cheese made with white bread.

I think a whole wheat grilled cheese would make me puke.

Has Jesse Jackson voiced his concern yet? This is obviously something that only a white nationalist would do. Why not Rye?

So did I; though we also had rye bread, French bread, Italian bread, and Kaiser rolls at home and sometimes my sandwiches were on one of those.

Can you imagine a club sandwich on ANYTHING other than toasted white bread? I can't!

Grilled cheese sandwich on Russian or Jewish rye is very tasty.

Indeed

Some things just go better on regular Wonder or Colonial or Sunbeam white bread

Peanut butter and grape jelly

Or a nice BLT

We go through 3-4 loaves a week in my large brood

I don’t buy fancy bread unless it’s from a bakery

Brioche or a ciabatta or a baguette or Cuban loaf
