When I was a kid you ate what was offered or did without.

I would have been happy to eat that over what was offered when I was in school. Nasty greasy garbage is not conducive to learning and developing good eating habits.

I know, I'm a hippy, but I enjoy eating healthy.

They been served sub-par fast food shit for years from their Ameritard parents, of course the majority of them are going to be impossible on this.

peace

Not to mention they have an entitlement mentality thinking if they bitch and moan about it long enough, they will get their junk food back...

When I went to elementary school in California, I don't remember getting lunch if you didn't bring it.

The food sounds pretty terrible.

vegetarian curries and tamales, quinoa salads and pad Thai noodles


Prepared by the school lunch lady no less.

sick

I'd wouldn't eat that crap either.

I'm also curious as to why not one student was interviewed.

No wonder the kids didn't eat the lunches. If you are going to make healthy lunches, then make lunches based on foods the kids are used to eating.

They do seem to have confused healthy food with ethnic food.

Why not grilled chicken (flavored with something healthy - citrus maybe?) cooked in some coconut oil served with fresh green beans good applesauce?

I'm no expert at cooking - in fact I suck at it. But they do seem to have way overcompensated.

They need healther foods for kids but they dont need to go crazy. They need to make healthy foods KIDS want to eat

That is the challenge and they failed.,

Any decent chef could easily solve this without putting that pseudo exotic crap on the table.

But besides that, wasn't the point of school lunches according to the big gubberment folks that;

"WE HAVE TO FEED THE POOR CHILDREN!! cry "

And yet here are these kids paying out of pocket for food that is palatable...

Most adults dont even like that exotic crap. I sure dont. I wonder what the school system is thinking. Is it run by idiots?

Salads with a vinigrette dressing, healthy submarine sandwiches, freshly made soup, chicken chili, basic stirfrys with brown rice, soft shelled chicken tacos on while grain flatbreads..the list is endless.
