Title: This is a School Lunch?
Post by: NavyCanDo on August 13, 2014, 06:18:36 pm
Looking at my son's Middle School lunch menue. Here is just the first few days. The rest of the month is not any better. There is no Kitchen in the districts elemetary and middle schools, so hot foods such as the sliders, or an occasional pizza are pre-made and brought into the school in portable heated carts.   

8/28
Lunch 1: Goldfish Bread w/ Sunbutter & Jelly & Cheese Stick
Lunch 2: Yogurt Boat w/Corn Muffin & Sunflower Seeds

That is  nutritionally unbalanced and just plain awful. Thanks, Mooch.

Where's the vegetable? Sunflower seeds? And hardly any protein. **nononono*

A huge reason my son is in the bottom 5% weight category - skin and bones.

Hummus is kind of nice - but it's not lunch!

They are kids. Need a lot of protein and fats. And where the hell are the veggies? Sure, a kid isn't going to enjoy a salad so much, but broccoli with cheese or cauliflower cheese? Never seen a kid that didn't scrape their plate and ask for more.

Our old school lunch standby, pizza with a side of corn, somehow seems exceedingly nutritious and delicious!

Beginning in 2000, in cooperation with the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, SunGold Foods’ parent company, Red River Commodities, began a two-year project to develop a substitute for peanut butter that would be made from sunflower seeds.
The result of our tax dollars was this “sunbutter.”
