Here’s a way kids will eat kale:

Kale Chips

1 bunch kale

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt.
Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.

Fresh tomatoes, avocado & ripe mango sliced with a bit of salt and olive oil. My lunch today!!

Heck - fresh tomatoes, in any format, are wonderful! Almost out of fresh tomatoes till next year. :-(

Still have one Brandywine ripening. 7” in diameter and almost 1-1/2 lbs!! Can’t wait to slice that baby up.

Add powdered garlic and parmesan cheese and they’ll be licking the bowl.

Oh good grief. Nobody was "forced" to do anything.

The school hosted parents and students for an open house, where they sampled food that will soon appear on the school menu, including “broccoli gratin, roasted root vegetables, carrot and butternut squash puree, Tuscan kale and white bean ragout, and beet hummus.”

The headline is more than a little hyperbolic.

That said, "free" school lunches should be limited to a pb&j or cheese sandwich, an apple, and milk or water. Economical and 95% of kids will eat it.

...will loose a lot of weight...

When, oh, when, are you people going to understand the difference between "loose" and "lose"? This is something you should have picked up in elementary school.
