Non-fat milk is basically sugar water some some extra vitamins and protein. I don’t know what they’ve got against milk fat.
This whole thing just seems like a doubling down on the high carb, low protein, low fat federal food pyramid scheme that’s been making Americans unhealthy and overweight for the last 30 years. It’s doubling down on failure.
If it were up to me, school kids would be fed a Southern soul food diet. Lots of high quality animal fats and protein along with plenty of vegetables.
Mmmm.....I’m coming to your place for dinner!
There really isn’t that much milk fat in regular milk. And children need it to adequately digest fat-soluble nutrients in the food they eat.
I like your reference to Southern soul food. Someone once told me that southern cooking was mostly fat, sugar, and booze. I know it isn’t true today, but some of the older recipes I have from a half-century ago certainly read that way!
I agree with you. This diet will put even more weight on the kids who actually eat the lunches.
This is going to increase the waste of food because many kids aren’t going to touch this stuff.
Moms all over thecountry had better be prepared for increased demands for after school snacks. Their kidsare going to arrive home starving.
One more thing I haven’t seen mentioned. Every school system had better schedule math, scinece etc. in the morning, because after this new high carb lunch, half the school with be asleep from carb overload in the afternoon.
Wasted food and sleeping kids, all thanks to Michelle Obama, failed attorney turned failed dietician.
