It might be better to drop some of the
Democratic Party letter writing campaigns in class and let students have recess and/or PE.
Close to half of all state budgets are spent on education. Then there is federal money on top of that.
Kids can't spell, read or count. They don't have a solid grasp of science but get a good dose of revised history.
And always the cry is for more and more money. Public education is a money pit.
And like everything else they have wrong, it isn't fat that makes kids fat but the Left keeps beating that drum. Doctors' group urges Atkins diet ban

Cherry Burgers are actually very good. The meat is nice and moist.
Never tried a prune burger.

Tried some of those portabella mushroom burgers that they sell at Costco. Not bad.

Thanks for the info but I'll stick to the fatty stuff. The pounds melt off when carbs and sugar are cut.

It is horrifying that the government schools are destroying our children ... sending them to concrete jungles and babying them (in case they get hurt); teaching revised history and a socialistic agenda; pointing out kids that nervously tap desks as psychological problems and then drugging them with Ritalin; stifling creativity with ditto sheets; robbing them of life's lessons through political correctness; feeding them fat-laden yuck; and STILL, we are told that the schools don't have enough money. Hand over education to me and I'll straighten them out. IDIOTS ... THEY ARE ALL IDIOTS. Considering what our future faces, how can we continue to allow these things to happen?
To: martin_fierro
Boca Burgers are good too...
As well as the Italian Sausage they make (which is WONDERFUL in baked beans)....

A growing number of schools nationwide are putting more fruits and vegetables into fat-laden meats like burgers and breakfast sausage to combat soaring childhood obesity rates.
P.U.. I'd hate to be in that school after a serving of the prune burger.

Prunes are tasty, and now that you can get them pre-pitted, they make great snack food. However, they're not recommended for men with families. And as for inclusion in hamburger...I think I'll stick with bread crumbs.

Yes they do and if you are on a low carb diet and losing weight then you likely shouldn't have them.
I ended the "weight loss" part of my new lifestyle and so I allow myself a couple of cherry burgers a week. The cherries not only make the burger good but the tart cherries also have lots of trace nutrients that contribute to good health.
I suppose I could eat them in a pie instead but I try to avoid sugar as much as possible.

Never eat prunes when you're famished..."

Several researchers have found that fruit reduces the total saturated fat because it replaces some of the fatty meat. What school do these folks go to? When I went to high school (latter part of the dark ages), the 'hamburgers' had been cooked for so many hours that nothing was left but the gristle! That's where I became a ketchup fan - added moisture to the hockey puck.
Of course, back then there were no video games, computers, DVDs, or cable TV. That left going outside and doing something as the most entertaining option. Perhaps it was the non-prune 'movement' that kept us from getting fat.
