Exactly they can't even get that right so this really was a fruity decision.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

I read that. But of course is MSNBC so why tell both sides of a story?

"School districts have said some of the USDA proposals go too far and cost too much when budgets are extremely tight. Schools have long taken broad instructions from the government on what they can serve in the federally subsidized meals that are given free or at reduced price to low-income children. But some schools have balked at government attempts to tell them exactly what foods they can't serve."

It's cheaper to serve them pizza than it is to get all the other vegetables every day. Schools can't afford the healthiest foods (ever go shopping for Kosher or health nut foods? It's twice as expensive to eat healthy) and they certainly can't afford the growing number of poor kids and illegals who are given free food. It's a sign of the times we live in and many other factors including lobbyists.

Besides, kids not exercising is by far and away the biggest reason for getting fat. And yeah, I do agree that it's ridiculous. Also, the pizza schools serve tastes like ass anyway, and I always dreaded Friday's because of it.



BOOM!  FACE KICK!

It is. So pizza is actually a fruit.

I find this very sad to be honest.

Makes you wonder how people of such power can say this.

I never actually got the point of this stuff... I mean healthy food is both cheaper... and well healthy.

So why do they go out of the way to make school meals garbage?

Sure Kid's aren't going to enjoy eating meals that are largely lentils and/or Rice as much, but hell, they can bring unhealthier food if they want then.

All it would take is empowering seasonal buying and some more simple on site cooking and you'd actually end up saving LOTS of money.

I mean shoot, I spend way more when I eat fast food then I do buy healthy food my girlfriend and i make at our house.
