Healthy Eating vs Kids School Lunches

I don't trust Katy Curic as far as my feral cat could throw her.

I do recall Neil saying " how when agricultural goes up, for some reason the kids

get those items of beef and cheese. Why can't they make a choice for kids to

choose from like beans and cheese burrito, or spagetti with tomato sauce? "

Katy interupts him and says, " What kids would eat that? " So, do any of you all

have kids? How do you all feel about all this with the kids school lunches? Do

you pack them a healthy lunch? Do they like that better than what is served at

today's schools?

Right now, only my daughter is in school all day. She is my super-picky

eater, so I feel much safer sending in her lunch. She usually has soy milk,

peanut butter snails (either wraps or flattened whole wheat bread spread

with organic peanut butter) or pasta mixed with a little oil, parmesan and

veggies or some soy yogurt. I always send in a veggie and a fruit to go

with it. On occassion, I do allow her to purchase a pizza lunch. I try to

make sure that I am in school at lunchtime that day to ensure that she eats

at least a fruit or veggie to go with it. I'm not a big fan of dairy

products, especially non-organic ones, but sometimes she enjoys eating with

the rest of the kids. In general, our school lunches appear balanced (on

paper), but other than pizza, there are no vegetarian options. I'd love to

see them do a pasta primavera or even a soy burger at times. Any time they

have pasta, it's served with a meat sauce.
