>Nutrition? It's a happy excuse. And turns the debate to nutrition and obesity.
Easy solution then. Choose a sugary school lunch, take a few pictures and have a dietitian evaluate it (nutrition, calories, glycemic index etc.) Then have the dietitian create a bag lunch specifically to provide good nutrition and combat obesity. Have her write a letter saying that the bag lunch was necessary to protect kids from the risks of obesity posed by school food. Copy it and hand it out to everyone.

If the school provided lunch bears any resemblance to those on that Jamie Oliver program, I think I'd be moving my child to a school that allowed a lunch from home.

all about the money.
QuoteBad policy. Parents have the right to serve their kids the lunch they want them to have,
Wrong wrong wrong wrong. So, you care enough to fix a healthy, filling lunch for your child. Not all parents do. Why should YOUR child get that preferential treatment and unfair advantage. We must be equal!

Yep. I don't remember where I saw it. There is a national corporation which lands contracts to supply many public school cafeterias. The quality of the "Food" is atrocious. It's big business. The documentary I saw it in was chronicling the negative health effects on the children. They documented negative behavioral effects, as well. Is the principle getting a kickback?

You can't be trusted to raise your children...you need the government to teach them about sex, religion and to feed them properly. It is, afterall, a brave new world...
I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..
But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Anyone watch Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution tonight? The topic was school food. Ever heard of "Pink Slime"? It is what is in the meat at your child's school. It is also in the meat at fast food restaurants, grocery stores, and pet food. What is it? Read up. Freaking disgusting.

Might as well be. I've never heard of the stuff until Jamie Oliver showed it on his show. I had to do a little research to know more about this stuff. Seems much of it is the worst parts of the animal. Much of it infected with E. Coli. Not to worry, the slime is washed with ammonia. Mmmmm, ammonia.

So we should call them 'slimers' instead of 'sliders'?

Ewwww, Ewww, Eww, Ew! I'm thinking that most of us wouldn't eat a whole lot of stuff (that we do), if we actually knew what was in it.

slightly alarmist writing style (BPI produces only 1.3% of the beef Americans consume), but it is pretty funny looking at BPI's web page, esp the FAQ defending the use of ammonia.
I am happy to be in a place where I can buy non Cargill beef from multiple smaller producers, grass fed and all that stuff. It's not terribly expensive.

Come on, who doesn't want ammonia soaked, mechanically separated, e coli tainted, pink goo "meat" for lunch?

Quote(BPI produces only 1.3% of the beef Americans consume)
According to BPI, their product is in most of the ground beef we eat. Just the fact that the trimmings are swept up off of the slaughter house floor is disgusting enough.
From BPI's website
BPI's products are found in the majority of all ground beef produced in the United States. Current production of over 7 million pounds per week, makes BPI the world's largest manufacturer of boneless lean beef in the world. Eating a hamburger from a Quick Service Restaurant or buying ground beef from your local retailer, the chances are you'll be eating product produced by BPI.

just a bit of marketing hype in that. 350 million pounds of beef sounds like a lot, but there's 310 million Americans. Who average eating 80+ pounds of beef (all types) per year. While any amount of this stuff 'taints' the burger, exposure is generally about quantity. The more bad beef you consume, the more likely it gets you. This filler is 5-15% of the burger.
At the grocery store, the big pack of frozen patties is probably the suspect one (I would like to see labeling requirements).
As for fast food, In n Out is a safe bet here.

If they are going to force the children to eat it, I think all staff and faculty should be required to eat it as well. If the principal thinks it's so good for everyone that they should be required to eat it, she should too. I'm a big fan of forcing others to live by the guidelines they would force on us. For some reason, they generally don't like that idea.
Things that make you go "hmmmm."
