    “It’s perfectly possible to make school lunches health and good.”

    It totally is, watching those videos of school lunches in other countries. I can’t say I wasn’t jealous. I think the other aspect is that maybe the intention was “good” but didn’t factor in everything and went of basic statistics. I think I wrote this in another post; when I went to grade school, I would have a breakfast with tea, then in school I would eat two lunches, after school I would eat something, and then I had dinner. Now my situation was different. I had gym in school, track (running), martial arts class after school, and what I would say a modified marines workout daily(insanity if you ask me). I didn’t break over 125 pounds until I was 26. I could eat a whole pizza and still be hungry.

    Either/or food in US schools is shite. But for many, sadly, it might be the only meal of their day.
