I have no problem with her daughter’s school having a chef and good food - they pay to go there (meaning the other kids, probably free to Mooch’s kids) - and public school kids could be given a sandwich every day for all I care - food is food - but what they are actually getting now is junk - really pathetic
I was in public school from 1943 to 1956. I have no recollection of K thru 6, so I imagine my mother who avoided sugar mostly sent a lunch with me. Then I went to a combined junior/senior high school where we had lunch, including pie or cake every day. I got about one cavity a year there, none previously. Off to university where living in a dormitory I got breakfast, lunch and dinner, with sweet rolls, cake, pie, ambrosia, bread pudding, and other sweets at every meal. Got six more cavities in one year. Then I moved to off campus housing where I did my own cooking with very little sweets and got NO more cavities for many years except for failed fillings. Don’t give your children sweets and save their teeth. I let my children have sweets, at Halloween, Christmas, Easter and their birthdays, and they had no cavities at all into adulthood. They are now early 40s, one got a cavity behind an impacted wisdom tooth. The other needed dental repair work from cracked tooth, which the dentist said might be from his 82nd Airborne days.
