\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Why is it that our national leaders have time and energy to figure what our children should have for lunch, but they can’t agree on budget issues.\u00a0 Why do they even care what these kids have for lunch?\u00a0 Is there nothing more crucial to our nations well being and safety that they could be focusing their attention on?<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 My mom told me what to eat when I was a kid.\u00a0 If I didn’t like what they were having as the hot lunch at school, I brought a sandwich, a cookies, and a piece of fruit.\u00a0 What’s wrong with that?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The school menus weren’t difficult to make or eat.\u00a0 We had things like baked spaghetti, with a jello salad, carrots sticks and milk and peach slices, or grilled cheese and tomato soup, with applesauce and a rice krispie treat.\u00a0 The most unhealthy thing we ever got was fish sticks and tater tots or maybe hot dogs.\u00a0 Although, they did make a mean apple crisp or peach crumble.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Most of the kids ate their lunches because they were hungry and that was what was set before them.\u00a0 Today if they don’t like it, they can go to a vending machine and use their lunch money on chips, candy, soda and ice cream.\u00a0\u00a0 So remove the machines, we survived without them.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Children need more than pizza and hamburgers with french fries, or corn dogs and cheese puffs.\u00a0 Even these things aren’t that bad , but they shouldn’t have them every week.\u00a0 Tacos the kids love and they are pretty healthy…it’s the brownies, nachos, and chocolate milk that cause a problem.\u00a0 I could go on and on about this subject, but who would care?<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I just think is ridiculous for the government to think they need to control school lunches and breakfasts.\u00a0 What will be next?\u00a0 Will there be a law against flip flops?\u00a0 They really are terrible for your feet.\u00a0 Will the government determine what color of socks they should wear?\u00a0 I say ‘let the government take care of national issues and let the local school districts deal with menus.\u00a0 Otherwise, we may be feeding our children bean sprouts and humus, with a side of elderberries and green tea.\u00a0 I wouldn’t eat that!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
