Stupid "food" products? Highly unhealthy ones? Need your help, please.

19. Yay for lunch ladies!

Yogurt tubes! GROSS! Hadn't thought of those--thanks. And the "Fruit snacks?" "Made with REAL Fruit," they surely say in big letters on the package--even though fruit juice is probably the last thing on the label, which probably leads with HFCS.

You've got grains, tomatoes, salad, fruit. Sounds quite reasonable. The orange sherbet is something that can't be brought from home, I don't think.

Do school lunch kitchens actually do any cooking anymore, or, as I suspect, is it mainly warming up pre-packaged products from the lowest bidder? (Out of your control, of course, and dictated by politics.)

Did someone here really call you stupid? Jeez, everyone's gotta have a JOB. I sure wish i had one, as do a lot of others. Making sure kids eat is a very important function, but, like teachers and social workers and public employees, they're under attack by fools that measure "good" with the wrong yardstick.

Thanks for the help!
