One has to wonder what’s on the menu for the little darlings at Sidwell Friends. I would bet a million dollars that it’s not three chicken nuggets and a side of carrots.
LOL! No doubt about that!
at the school my wife works, they are now forcing every student to take two fruits or vegetables. No choice. the high schoolers grab the pizza, dump everything else, and go on. Fraud, waste, and abuse.
Does your wife see any kids who are starving? More than half seem to be over-weight.
Two fruits and vegetables like carrots or corn and that is waaaaayyyy too much sugar for a meal. Sugar is sugar whether it comes in the form of fructose or the white stuff.. Granted, there are additional nutritional benefits in fruit (if it is whole), but it certainly won’t help anyone’s concentration, blood sugar or weight to eat such an unbalanced lunch.
“Isn’t a high protein diet good for you?
Fruits are FULL of sugar, grains are FULL of carbs (which are sugars, of course)l veggies are good, of course.
What’s wrong with proteins? I thought a high protein low carb diet was good for you.”
You are correct. Fats and proteins are good for you. Non-fiber carbs are bad, particularly fructose, which is metabolized and utilized by the liver EXACTLY like ethanol, which is why there is a national epidemic of NASH (Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis) liver disease and obesity.
Eat fresh meat, dairy, eggs, vegetables, berries, nuts and smaller amounts of beans and brown rice (and totally avoid processed and/or fast food) and you’ll have a significantly better chance of avoiding the national epidemics of Type II diabetes, heart disease, obesity, hypertension, and liver disease.
“Does your wife see any kids who are starving? More than half seem to be over-weight.”
Sadly enough, those grossly overweight children are in fact starving to death in a way, in that they are consuming massive amounts of fructose and other empty calories without obtaining many of the fundamental nutrients that their bodies should have.
I have it! The answer!
You take all of the food for the meals required by the government, run it through a food processor and simply plop it onto the kid’s plates. Since it is all gound up and mixed together they will have to eat it. On holidays we can sprinkle soy fake baco bits on top for a more festive meal!
It will be healthful and will keep the kids growing like weeds.
We can call it ..... Gruel.
I remember reading somewhere that the people in the concentration camps during WWII thought they were being fed ‘good food’ because they had vegetable soup, etc. What they didn’t know is that starving your body of protein makes your brain slow down, and your thinking ‘fuzzy’, and your overall body ‘sluggish’. Don’t know how true the concentration camp story is but I know protein makes your mind sharper. Could this possibly be what ‘they’ have in mind? Fuzzy brained, sluggish kids are easier to program... My kids have NEVER eaten school food. I’ve always packed their lunches. Even on days when I offered to let them have ‘hot lunch’, they chose a home packed meal instead. School food is ‘gross’.
