And yet the food is a hundred times better then any so-called education they’re getting.

Yeah, the “Get OJ Off Lawyer” middle school... you’d think even that community would have a better sense of propriety.

I thought this was interesting:
“Andre Jahchan, a 16-year-old sophomore at Esteban Torres High School, said the food was “super good” at the summer tasting at L.A. Unified’s central kitchen. But on campus, he said, the chicken pozole was watery, the vegetable tamale was burned and hard, and noodles were soggy.”
Preparation may well be as much of a problem as the dishes themselves. It could also be that the “super good” dishes at the summer testing used better ingredients and had fewer cost constraints than the actual school kitchens. “Fresh” ingredients cost more than institutional-grade mystery meat, so it’s not impossible the schools are cutting corners on the recipes in order to keep the food costs low.

The real truth is the high crab diet is 100% poison for the cardiovascular system as well as messing with your insulin levels. If people were really serious about health they would read up on the paleolithic diet.

So what do they eat? The juniors pull three bags of Flamin' Hot Cheetos and soda from their backpacks. But...but...they told me that free school lunches were absolutely necessary to avert starvation for "the poor."

Its time for the Obama administration to introduce the little darlings to Soylent Green.

Yeah, it's a spicy (usually) vegetarian patty made with black beans that's served up as a meatless alternative to hamburgers. Done right, they actually aren't too bad. Done badly, it's like eating dried out succotash. In either case, you'll never mistake it for the juicy goodness of actual ground beef. I look at it a lot like eating falafel (which I also like) rather than anything remotely resembling an actual hamburger.

I went to high school in the late 60’s. The jocks all ate three or four cheeseburgers for lunch washed down with a milkshake. Only kids who had money ate in the cafeteria, kids like me either brought lunch or ordered a shake for lunch and that was it.
Back then buying food at school was a luxury.

What is this unidentifiable patty? It looks positively ghastly! Bring on the junk food — at least I know what I'm getting.

The kids better enjoy this variety while they can. During a second Obama term, the standard school meal is going to be a watered down version of gruel three times a day.

Under pressure from parents, our school district has been modifying the lunchroom offerings. Our son is a high school swimmer, and he has been complaining that the new menu is so low in fat, carbs and calories that the lunches leave him hungry. I’ve already written a complaint to the food service director. She said she was grateful for my input, since she’s under huge pressure from the healthy eating crowd, and she understands that kids need more than sticks and twigs for sustenance. It’s really nutty out there these days.

Whatever happened to plain old sandwiches served on healthy bread?

Nobody’s doing endurance testing of the stuff under the warming lamps.
