Plenty of sodium, cholesterol and added sugars. I’m suspect of the daily allowance for protein. Seems like they’ve been lowering it over the years.

The pizza is supposed to be 24% of your protein needs and the turkey, 18%.

I’m guessing they would say steak and eggs for breakfast would kill you with an OD of protein.

So, the government now officially sponsors nutrition-bereft high carb, high sodium garbage you wouldn’t feed a stray dog as fit food for the nation’s kids. Now the kids lined up at the cafeteria candy and soda machines will actually be getting more nutrition from the machines than from the lunch staff. Whatever happened to food cooked by the lunch staff right there in the kitchen? All that’s been served there for years has been nuked pre-determined “portions” of breaded high carb high sodium garbage, which usually ended up in the cafeteria garbage cans. The fruit was third rate tiny specimens the size of tennis balls that no housewife would grant a second glance. But they made fine ammo for food fights.

Nah...fat. New "nutrition" list (I forget which agency, but Dr. Ken Berry talks about it in one of his recent videos). Cheerios and several other cereals rate as "healthier" than eggs scrambled in butter or bacon grease.

I actually did try to find the info, but all the articles I found on a quick scan had graphics that were so small as to be unreadable. Yours works.....BUT....IMO, it is the responsibility of the person posting the article to include the key information either via extract or another article or link.

“Better than the Korean diet of a fish head and some old rice.”

Is it? What’s Korea’s childhood diabetes rate?

I think it enjoyed a short resurgence under Trump...at least to the extent he could get through the entrenched "Deep State" bureaucracy. But the Bidenistas are undoing that and doing much more just as fast as they can.

Good way to force meatless turkey and cricket crackers on the kids.
= = =

Use these crackers to get real meat.

Scatter them around the school area, and kill the rats they attract.

Just like when friends of Moochelle got a righteous deal to provide schools with Greek Yogurt. Because every kid is clamoring for Greek yogurt.

I remember here in NY when Yogart was a hot item and one company got the contract for every single school in the state.
