No matter how you slice it, the days of milk and cookies are long gone as schools aim to provide students with healthy fruits and vegetables as snacks.
But raw onions?
That's what several classes of students at Southeast's Turner Elementary were fed Tuesday, instead of the zucchini slices the school's food provider, Chartwells, said it would serve as part of a federal initiative to provide healthy food to young learners.

When I first saw this, I thought it was one of those absurd multi-cultural studies. No, it’s just the food police going overboard again.
This is five threads so far. Looks like we’re on a roll.

Here in Appalachia we call that Kill't lettuce and you can do something similar with cabbage, then crumble in the leftover biscuits from breakfast and pour on pepper gravy. Mmm good! You're speshul if you get a piece of leftover bacon in there, too.

The discussion here revolves around the culinary arts, not botany.
In botany tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, and peas and beans of all sorts are classified as fruits.
In the culinary arts, they are classified as vegetables.

Were they red, vadalia or yellow onions? I like a red onion with cornbread and peas/red beans/pinto beans. Spring onions with a sandwich is not a fare to cough at either. What the diverse people and liberals call “Soul Food” is the food we poor whiteys have been eating for years and still eat.

...federal initiative to provide healthy food to young learners.... Maybe these 'young learners', will learn to think for and fend for themselves. The federal government is never the answer to your dietary choices kids.

For fraternity “hell week” we wore onions on strings around our necks, and were told to take big bites from our “pledge apples.”
Didn’t like raw onions before that, and liked them less after.
What I did to get into that fraternity has been illegal for decades.

Refusal to eat the onion is counter-revolutionary, comrades. You will eat the onion or be deported to labor camps in the East.

When I was a kid in the country we always ate scallions fresh from the garden, cleaned and dipped in salt. Nothing at all wrong with this, and I would guess better for you than blobs of sugarey white flour starch.

Nothing wrong with living within your means. But, I have to say that after 3 years of being poor, I was ready to graduate and start making some money.

I would like to see them try to make me eat onions, raw or otherwise.
I am allergic to onions.
Even the smell of them makes me ill.
They haven’t seen a revolt yet until they see me revolt both against the snacking on onions as well as it coming down from the big nanny state on high.
They would be oh, so sorry to have messed with me.

Or a whole Fried Catfish! Now you're talking! A whole catfish, fried golden brown, a mess of turnip greens, a baked sweet tater, hot buttered corn bread, a fist full of green onions, and a gallon of sweet tea!
