4th Grader's secret documentary of public school lunches shows hype vs reality

92. Five a day is good nutrition, not a conspiracy

By the way, the tomato sauce in the pizza is a vegetable, counts for half a portion...I know eeeewwww. Vegetable. (And excellent source of vitamin c)

In the US we really culturally teach kids to hate them. And kids like raw carrots for example, with dipping sauce, but they do.

Look at cartoons, and other cultural messages, veggies are yukie!!!!

And them there are adults like you who have this crazy idea we can get all nutrients without eating them, which is science bunk.

In other places around the world, where people eat a lot less processed junk, people eat fruits and veggies and grains with animal protein being something you use to season your meal with. Hell, a piece of fruit becomes a common snack, not chips, not cookies, not all the crap kids eat.

Guess what? They have a few less related cardiac issues and obesity. And even talking of places like oh France, oi moiseour, their portions are also reasonable. Ours are not

Oh and nobody is saying they should not have the pizza (has veggies) or the meatballs and spaghetti, (again has veggies) but that the salad they are served is more than wilted iceberg with a single piece of carrot that looks yuky. The school district is also telling parents, "we are going to serve these yumy salads...they are not.

We get it, you don't like them, but kids...and adults...need them for a complete nutrition
