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

Just hand out a multivitamin with every lunch.
White bread with a side order of water for dipping please.

Pastrami is actually a Romanian dish.
Yes, I know. I’m a German Jew. My Great Grandpa and his brother did the trek across the Alps to get AWAY from Socialism.
I’ve been fighting the PLAGUE of Socialism in America ever since! ;)
Nutritionists are now saying that if you eat bread, it really doesn’t matter much if it’s whole wheat or white. Both are fine, in moderation.
Cobblestone Million Dollar White Bread is very tasty. It makes great grilled sandwiches.
