We have learned that retired generals don’t know diddly about running hospitals, and now we’re learning they also don’t know their way around a kid’s lunchroom. A bunch of knuckleheads.
Why worry about what they eat? Feed them what will be consumed and put Physical Education back in school grades 1-11. If they eliminated the PC garbage being taught in classes which is not the purpose of school and replaced it with PE or recess to get some exercise in the problem would be resolved.
When I was in school we ate as much as we wanted. When I was in the Navy same thing. The ship had a Gedunk store and vending machines along with the usual unofficial coke and popcorn messes here and there. A Coke went for about 75 cents at sea in a Coke mess. Oh and they were made with sugar not corn syrup. We burned it off being active.
I see two problems. No PE in schools and sad to say in many places today at home kids can't go out and play because perverts have special rights. Society doesn't punish them anymore.
