Make the following groups eat this lunch, in order of priority:

1) Dept. of Ed. bureaucrats.
2) School administrators.
3) All school board members.
4) All liberals.
5) All teachers.
6) Anyone who opposes school vouchers or the end of gov't schooling.

I've written about this in other school lunch threads, so apologies if it comes across as a re-run.

Many people of a certain age look fondly back at the kind lunch-room ladies of our days in school. The ones who actually cooked. It's not like that now. I know, I was a high school teacher.

Lunch room staff are now primarily responsible for opening cans and defrosting/heating up in the oven. All the food is convenience, and it is cheap and of very poor quality.

They must operate the school cafeteria under such a heavy barrage of dietary and nutritional regulation... Michelle's vision, of course, but also under threat of lawsuits from the no-peanut crowd and everyone else.

The way to combat that is that the food is heat-and-serve with assurance from the manufacturer on nutritional value and allergen content.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is made from scratch, or has seasoning added, or anything that might add the slightest risk of litigation or expense.

It broke my heart to see the kids have to eat that. So many in my little district were free-lunch kids, and whatever you might think about that program, it really was the only meal that they could count on.
