Ah, Screw It, Bring A Sandwich And Chips From Home
-
Oh, here we go again, debating about what should and shouldn't be served up in school lunches. It's not just that french fry issue from last month, it's about replacing everything that kids like to eat with the kind of stuff that they don't like, namely "healthy" foods like vegetables. There are activists and politicians who want to do this right away, and there are industry people who want to make school lunches safe for processed, sodium–laden junk. And there are those who think we should be going slower on this, to gradually bring kids around and have them get used to food like that. I think there is a happy medium, where you mix healthier foods with a little bit of junk to satisfy the kids. But that would make too much sense, especially to the people who want to throw all the good-tasting stuff out and replace it with sprouts and kale. (New York Times)
