Let’s starve!
Nanny State PING!
Heres you bowl of Pumkpin and fish head soup. Oh my, youre lucky because you got the fishhead.
The most basic rule of child nutrition: If the kid won’t or can’t eat it, the sum total nutritional value is ZERO...
They could save all kinds of money by eliminating school lunches. How did we get so entangled in all of this nonsense in the first place? Let the students bring their own lunches.
I attended public schools in Maryland. We had school lunches but there were no snack machines. Coke machines were for teachers only during the school day, but students were allowed to use them after school.
My wife switched me over to whole-grain pasta about ten months ago. The only way it works....is that you use a nice “fatty” tomato sauce with it. If you go 100-percent with the nutritional pasta and low-fat sauce....it’s a NO-go. If you had real cooks doing this stuff....they’d experiment and realize that the audience won’t consume the stuff. What you have these days are pretender cooks....who dazzle you with culinary art garbage and cite calorie counts/nutritional facts. Put these idiots into some Army mess hall, and they’d be fired in twenty-four hours.
Serving “pasta” is their first mistake...personally I call it junk food
“If the kids don’t eat the food, then all I have is healthy trash cans,”
Box it all up and send it to the Mooch.
When my children were much younger (now 46) I went on a health food kick. Every so often, my daughter says, the da that you made us eat whole wheat pizza was the worse day of my life.
These nutrition mandates may be what kills the bloated school lunch program. People stop signing up and paying for it because no one eats it.
