Under pressure from parents, our school district has been modifying the lunchroom offerings. Our son is a high school swimmer, and he has been complaining that the new menu is so low in fat, carbs and calories that the lunches leave him hungry. I’ve already written a complaint to the food service director. She said she was grateful for my input, since she’s under huge pressure from the healthy eating crowd, and she understands that kids need more than sticks and twigs for sustenance. It’s really nutty out there these days.

Why not send him with a bag lunch with some sandwiches?
I don’t understand why the gov’t school is in charge of feeding the kids.
