Bacon and Eggs can be nutritious, heck the liquid nutrition bottles for old folks are nutritious, but doesn`t mean it`s good for you. Heart patients need to be aware of the bad fats they have in them, hydrogenated palm oil etc
A heart healthy diet is NOT the same thing as a good nutritious meal
You can have a “nutritious” meal that is loaded with all the bad fats and actually be NOT a heart friendly meal.
Speaking from the point of view from a member of a family with heart disease.
A lot of these granola type bars that are advertised as good for you? Hey they are indeed “nutritious” but NOT something someone with heart disease should be eating.
Nutrition does not equal heart healthy
just saying

They are studying the lunches the school serves. They aren’t studying the food waste where all the salads and vegetables end up in the trash.

Uneaten food is not nutritional. If nutrition was all that mattered, wed eat astronaut food and vitamin pills.:

This is like the school regulations that say all kids have to get milk - even the lactose intolerant.
Or that all kids must take 2 fruits and veggies, even if they won’t eat it.

Exactly. Mostly out of necessity for my parents. My parents weren't rich or on government assistance. Plus my mom was a home-maker.
Contrary to what they try to tell you, the school lunch is not free for most people.

Total nonsense. The writer of the article has no idea what is in a packed lunch. There is no standard packed lunch. Each parent makes an individual decision about the contents. There is no such thing as an “average” packed lunch.
This is stupidity on display.

I teach & the amount of food thrown out is astoundingly depressing. In some cases whole lunches. I grew up eating pretty healthy ( what was then called health food or hippie food),but you can’t force that on kids. They simply DON’T like it. For the record I just bought two containers of Almond Rocca at Walgreens!!!!! I’m still a little twigs & nuts, but I love a good porkchop!

At this age, these standards mean nothing. I’d rather a child ate something than to pitch their whole lunch in the trash bin. I’m speaking from a school nurse’s reasoning. Many kids go through phases where they won’t eat anything but a select few foods. Surely these people know that, but they are in charge and since their CIC has an attitude of, “It’s my way or the highway!”, they believe that they have the right do force this on everybody, too!

Actually, "Space Food Sticks" would be an upgrade in some cases.

They need to ask what Alisha Farris and her team ate for school lunch growing up!

They already are in some California schools. If you don’t eat the government lunch, you can bring a sack lunch but it must be the exact meal every day. No change. They actually check and enforce it in lunch rooms.

Is that from the 1970’s? The funny thing is that those sticks would probably not pass the food police inspection today.

Better! Late '60s. They actually tasted pretty good, but were expensive. I liked the peanut butter ones. I can still remember the commercial.

BINGO! And why exactly are people being paid at the federal level to intervene in what kids eat? at the state and local level?? Kids will eat or not eat whatever lunch they are provided, home or school; they will trade; they will throw away. If they have money, they will buy snacks they want. Get real, federal-es!

No. Just a sandwich from home that isnt government approved.THEY are the best kind.
