Did you see that link? These kids are eating steak fingers, mashed potatoes, and apple sauce. And as I said, if you have a problem with what the schools are providing, bring your own lunch. It’s not rocket science.

You seem to have missed the part about food ending up in the trash.

…With the new federal regulations, kids can’t pass up both the fruits and veggies when going through the lunch line anymore. But administrators in Pierre say that food is feeding the trash more than the students.

“I know a lot of my friends who are just drinking a jug of milk for their lunch. And they are not getting a proper meal,” middle school student Samantha Gortmaker said.

You can see from the garbage line, a lot of the healthy foods kids have to put on their plates aren’t going in their stomachs. Some are concerned certain kids need more food than they’re allowed to take under the new regulations.
