Connecting a few dots Chicago Style:

(D.C. school lunch firm (Chartwells-Thompson) questioned on nutrition)..............(Chartwells-Thompson wins Chicago Public Schools account) Chicago cronyism per-usual and now with Rahm Emanuel as Mayor, the Chicago Political machine is as strong as it ever was....using children as Human Shields for a food company is repulsive.

They are foreign-owned, also.

I've seen my grandchildren's lunch menu....crap...day after day...

Just provide the milk or chocolate drink.

:Kids are getting fat because schools are "overfeeding".

These companies are doing a GREAT job of providing “nutritious meals” here in Houston. Check out this wonderous menu:

Pizza
Mashed potatoes
Beans
Bread

That’s gonna keep the kiddies lean and well fed, isn’t it ?

The fat is, many of these programs go way overboard on the carbs, and seriously neglect protein and dairy. Why not feed ‘em candy bars ? Same “nutritional content”, and they’d actually like them.

Get the goobermint OUT of feeding kids.

Joan Face: It's PURE starch! And what about Thursday? First of all, the soup: a tablespoon of imitation grape jelly in a bowl of hot water. Not to mention a cocoa-wich: two pieces of white bread, thinly spread with diluted chocolate syrup! And, to top it off: black coffee and cigarettes!

Irwin Mainway: Now, that's a bottomless cup of coffee! Those kids can get REFILLS! All they want! You know?

Joan Face: I'll bet. The dessert is a big bowl of white, refined sugar! This is your idea of a balanced meal, Mr. Mainway?

Irwin Mainway: The kids LOVE it! I mean, it's high energy! You should SEE bounding out the cafeteria! It's unbelievable! I can't keep up with these kids on Thursday! I can't keep up with them!
