Every day I ask my daughter what her snack was, and sometimes I hear crazy things like "potato chips," "Oreos" and "Lucky Charms" and I'm not thrilled about it. I could pack her snack, but most kids pay in to the program, so I figured I would do it to eliminate the daily task. <BR/><BR/>But next year I'm definitely packing her lunch. For starters, they only get 20 minutes of lunch time -- so little time to go through the line AND eat. And second, she's a picky eater, so I can make sure I give her stuff she likes that is healthy to boot. <BR/><BR/>But pizza with macaroni salad -- that's crazy. And they should at least make the kids choose raisins or fruit or something when they pass by, don't you think?<BR/><BR/>The chef Jamie Oliver did a great documentary series about revamping school lunches in England. If you ever get the chance to see it, you should. It was so eye opening.<BR/><BR/>Have a good 5K!Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15121543483134850648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251063133815400961.post-58763993667717593462008-04-07T21:47:00.000-07:002008-04-07T21:47:00.000-07:00It isn't just you, it's me too.Lunches are really ...It isn't just you, it's me too.<BR/>Lunches are really pretty bad. When I taught, I felt so bad for the 6th grade boys who would buy lunch and it would be a soft pretzle, nacho cheese and a small cup of fruit cocktail. Where is the protien?? <BR/>I saw a really interesting show about an "alternative" school for behaviorly challenged kids. The first thing they did was fix the menu in the cafeteria. Once the kids were eating better, the behaviors declined dramaticly, hmmmmmm. We are lucky, Ben goes to an old school so they actually have a lunchroom where the ladies cook and put a little of everything on the tray. I wish all schools were that way. :0)Laurie Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131473813500267618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251063133815400961.post-70930597129825079042008-04-07T19:42:00.000-07:002008-04-07T19:42:00.000-07:00Hi again...How are ya doing?
