Senators: Are schools starving kids in the name of reducing lunch calories?

11. One of the provisions of the nutrition act was that the kids could have "seconds" on....

fruit and vegetables. However, I have never seen this actually occur. My guess is that the food service provider didn't tell the kids, so they can save money.

Fresh fruit is a rock-hard red delicious apple, a green or over-ripe banana, or an orange. The rest of the fruit is canned fruit cocktail or neon applesauce flavored with colorful Jello. No wonder the kids don't touch the fruit. Vegetables are usually Tator Tots. They usually have mini-carrots, celery sticks or cauliflower with regular ranch dressing, too. It's the same selection every day. The kids have to take it... but they won't eat it. It goes straight into the trash.
