No, we weren't. We had plenty of exercise. To suggest that limiting milk, juice, and soda in school cafeterias is going to have any significant impact on young America's health is like saying we can improve kids TV viewing habits by assigning them different kinds of homework.
The problem isn't going to get fixed by managing one meal a day. The issue is bigger than school lunch programs. You can exert greater control over these programs but the incidence of obesity and diabetes will not decline. The schools probably want to do some good but, as usual, they are seriously misguided. Bill Clinton on the other hand, has an ulterior motive that you can bet has everything to do with control.
If the education system was truly concerned about the health of our children they would be doing more to educate their communities about nutrition. Or course, they'd have to understand nutrition in the first place and would have to agree to take some time away from their prized indoctrination programs to make it work. This feel good nonsense will have little or no impact on the relative health of children.
