What about real food? | 8:07 a.m. March 29, 2008
Will we ever see schools in Utah growing their own gardens and offering salad bars for lunch, rather than processed food stuffs?

School lunch is not nearly as good as when I went to school. I have visited and it reminds me of a TV dinner.

there's always a brown bag option, one which my 4 children prefer.

brown bags ... | 12:28 p.m. March 29, 2008
.. are not very nutritional, even if they do taste better than mom's cooking

We've reduced PE to a couple times a week, and we serve our kids junk food for lunch, is it any wonder why our obesetiy rates are sky high, and our kids nutrition and healthy eating is in the toilet. Since when did our education system rely on serving what kids want, how about polling the parents instead?? My kids would eat ice cream, donuts, and candy all day if it was their choice- sounds like School lunch!!
It could work... | 5:29 p.m. March 29, 2008
It really could work---Probably at each grade level. Lots could be learned by the students if there really was a BIG garden and the students were involved in preparing, planting, weeding, fertilizing, harvesting, and canning, freezing, or outright cooking and eating....I wonder how we could get our administrations to stretch enough to put it into place.???
