There's not much real nutrition in bread once it's processed into a shelf-stable, transportable, bomb-resistant state and less bread would mean more room for other things.<br /><br />FWIW - I can't remember my least favorite cafeteria choices. I can't really remember what was offered at all. Apparently, tho, Iowa has the kick-assiest school lunches. Everyone I've known from Iowa raves about the school food.Adrienne Martinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397168988027122161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437562612903418614.post-88188922024582514472011-11-12T19:59:42.690-08:002011-11-12T19:59:42.690-08:00WELL THANKS FOR RUINING EVERYTHING, KIRK

F...I am sorry I didn't respond to your survey. For what it is worth I have fond memories of the food, but then again I attended school in a small town in Iowa. All the lunch ladies had gray or blue hair. Some served our parents, same story with some of the teachers.<br /><br />Coincidentally, this evening I recreated my favorite school lunch for supper - chili and cinnamon rolls. My rolls were from a tube and not the hand made ones from school so they seemed diminutive compared to my memory. <br /><br />A couple years ago the school nurse at the elementary school my sons attended (and where I worked) went on a crusade to improve the school lunches. Her crusade was what you suggest along with a healthier protein-to-carb ratio especially at breakfast. <br /><br />The one thing I would change about school lunch is to give the kids recess prior to lunch. This has been studied and was shown to decrease the amount of food thrown away and discipline issues.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02330289872262191916noreply@blogger.com
