But the best way of serving them is the way they do them at Outback:
With a good onion dip or gobs ranch dressing not a bad little snack

These are the people edumacating your children!
Next week, raw potato.
I would have eaten them just so I could have an excellent case of onion breath. And to let the school admin know how much I appreciate them caring about the food I eat I would tell it to them up close and personal.
But the best way of serving them is the way they do them at Outback:
Raw veggies with a good blue cheese dip? I’M THERE!
I’ll bring the dip.
(will they be serving cheese&crackers and wine too)
I’d like to see them put the same thing in Michelle’s feed bag.
Fresh scallions dipped in a wee bit of salt are an outstanding snack.
So is a good hotdog smothered in fresh chopped raw onion, a bit of Cleveland Stadium Mustard, and drowned in chili...
...and a beer...
Might cut down on teen pregnancies. Or not.
Wonder if they let the kids bring in a snack from home??
Didn’t a restaurant chain go out of business because of contaminated raw scallions from Mexico?
May seem strange these days but scallions or green onions was a frequent snack for me as child.
But maybe I was an odd child. I liked dark chocolate, black licorice, spicy food and coffee as kid as well.
Take a look at the garbage cans, you will see what kids refuse to eat. Some schools have made it illegal to bring sack lunches, trying to force kids to eat the stuff, which may be the only way they will eat it, guess if you get hungry enough you will eat anything.
I prefer raw garlic. If my wife gets to be President someday, I will force it on the populis.
Love onions, cut off a good slice and little salt and I am all set.
In my lifetime, I have seen schools go from providing a cheap lunch for students to buy, with a relatively small percentage of students (even in a fairly poor town) receiving “free or reduced” lunches... to today where the schools are feeding a large percentage of students a free lunch, free breakfast, a snack or two each day in-between, and even seeing food sent home with students (though I realize this latter is often supplied by a 3rd party or non-profit - for now, until someone decides that too is a “right”).
I have a question - what happened to parents being responsible for feeding their children? Before I exited my former position as a teacher in a public school, I knew of many families who had reasonable jobs, but their kids still qualified for the free/reduced lunch and breakfast program. Strangely enough, I also knew quite a few who “qualified”, but chose to not participate because they had no problem providing meals for their kids - and often those who made such a decision had less income than those who USED the system.
So what gives? Parents who are not parents - but only biological donors, who don’t really care about anything but themselves. Blew my mind to see kids show up to school with $100 shoes, a cell phone (often a “smartphone), parent driving a new vehicle... and lining up for the free meals in the cafeteria... Obviously, the parental mentality is - why should I pay for food if the government is gonna give it for free? Why spend money on necessities, when I can spend it on stuff I want?
But even more heart wrenching- those kids who barely had shoes or clothes, and pretty much never had materials for class - yet their parents were capable of providing...Far too often the “parents” were more concerned with getting liquored-up/stoned/etc. instead of providing for their family.
And I don’t believe anyone here on this board has an objection to helping those who really need help (not the deadbeats). But when did it become the taxpayer’s responsibility to “help” folks along - including those who make more than you do?
I remember raw onion slices served in the cafeteria in elementary school in Huntsville. I always thought it was a regional thing. (loved them BTW)
Serve them and tell the kids to thanks Mrs Obama for them!
By next year, those DC school kids may be grasping turnips in their grubby hands and swearing:
“as meshell obama is my witness, I will never go hungry again....!!”
maybe that raw scallion snack was from the Sidwell Friends school menu of snack recipes....
Then again....naw
