It's mainly the lack of exercise though. In terms of food, its the fast food and junk that kids eat, not school lunches. So yeah, let kids eat what they want during school lunches. If they don't want to get fat, then go exercise. And even if they do get fat, school lunches wouldn't be a factor. It's the food outside of school and lack of exercise. |
Idea I believe is to try to cause some exposure to better foods for kids to eat SOMETIME during their day. Outside of Chicago, I am unaware of any bans on bag lunches, so kids are free to bring whatever. The question is what the government lunches should be. Should they try to be healthy, or end up pandering to every impulse appetite that children have?
Isn't the point of raising kids to provide them boundaries and teach them to say no?
