The NY Times, as usual, is dumping a load of leftist BS, based on a paper with a obfuscating title, "Perceived Reactions of Elementary School Students to Changes in School Lunches after Implementation of the United States Department of Agriculture’s New Meals Standards: Minimal Backlash, but Rural and Socioeconomic Disparities Exist."

These "perceived reactions" were from 557 responses to a mailback survey sent to 1051 public school administrators and food service staff. (There are about 100,000 public schools in the US.) And the perceptions were based on the public school administrators and food service staff scoring on a Likert-type scale (1=strongly disagree through 4=strongly agree) the following statements:

"Students generally seem to like the new school lunch."
"At first, students complained about the new lunches."
"Few students complain about the new lunches."
"Most students don’t seem concerned about the changes in the school lunches."

Oh, and a $100 incentive was offered for those who did respond.

The value of a fifth-column rag reporting such "suggested" conclusions from this kind of incentivized survey of a limited number of people with obvious biases is left as an exercise for the sentient reader.
