In other words: Cornell says kids aren't fat because they lack discipline and don't excercise, kids aren't fat because their parents don't make them eat healty. Cornell says that kids are fat because President Bush doens't throw enough money at school lunch programs.

Since when did schools become restaurants?

Kids are fat because parents are fat....and parents buy too much fast food and processed foods. I couldn't believe how much better I feel after giving up those things.

In light of the inadequacies in federal funding, many schools have turned to alternative means of financing their respective lunch programs.
It's been a while but last time I was in school I was hungry at lunchtime. I don't see where they need more 'funding' to feed children healthier foods. If it's a big deal just limit the menu choices to more 'appropriate' options.

Jeemany whiz! Each school day, my mom fixed my samwidges (vienna sausage and mayo, if I recall) plus some sort of cookies, and I brown bagged it. So did most of my class.
What's this "federal funding" crap?

Far above Cayuga's waters,
There's an awful smell,
Some say it's Cayuga's waters,
Others say Cornell.

Agreed. My tax dollars going to pay for some kid's lunch in another state is NOT what the founding fathers had in mind
In fact, IMO, it is flat out unconstitutional.
(Vienna sausage and mayo??? What was that like?)

Then where in the hell are my property taxes going?
And all those lottery dollars?
Kids are fat because their parents are lazy. Period.

So will the federal government be willing to stay on Daylight Savings Time permanently so kids will have more time to play outside after school and burn off some calories?

Doesn't the amount of per-pupil spending on public schools equal that of many good private schools? It's simple, the government system is bloated and inefficient, with more money wasted than what good lunches cost, while the private schools have to control their costs.

Guess you had to be there. We had some darned good looking girls I could admire along with the samwidges.

I have a five year old who just started school. I look at her school's menu and see mostly junk for her lunch.
When I went thru elementary school, we had southern style home cooked meals every day in the school cafeteria. Some of the meals were as good as my Mom's cooking!!!

Exactly!
We're so afraid a child might not eat that we give them a dozen choices...... Instead of saying lunch is XY & Z. Even at home, I've seen mothers get up to fix Jr. a PB&B because he's upset with meatloaf.
In controlled settings where all kids are served the same meals with the understanding there are no subsitutions outside of allergies etc, you'd be surprised how quickly they start eating their veges etc.
Heck, I've seen them take a liking to collard greens and cornbread after a bit. And that ain't expensive food.
