Who decides what our children are eating?
To a large degree, it is the Federal Government. Congress and the Department of Agriculture approve what foods can (and can't) be served to over 30 million American school children who get daily meals from the National School Lunch Program.
The government gets a ton of pressure from a food and beverage industry frantic to keep kids hooked on a diet of sodas, snacks and hot dogs. The competition, for a piece of this $10 billion market, is particularly fierce right now because this year, the School Lunch Program is being reviewed and revised.
Despite the enormous nutritional and financial stakes at play, ANP was the only media to cover a recent panel set up to discuss the school menu. While nutritionists outnumbered the press, corporate lobbyists outnumbered everyone.

The food at my school is so disgusting that it's less painful to go hungry during lunch than it is to attempt to get the "food" they serve down your throat. I don't have time to eat breakfast either since school starts so early, so my only two meals are the after-school snack and the late dinner... I can't wait to get out of this shithole.
To put it in perspective, the quality of McDonalds' food is closer to that of The Capital Grille than our school's is to McDonalds.
AVP - I know you were joking, but it's one of those "it's funny because it's true" jokes. The USDA actually buys the meat that isn't high enough quality for McDonald's. McDonald's has more money, that means they get first dibs. Start packing your lunch and be your own lobbyist to your school to start changing what they serve.
true because global warming is a scam, science proves the globe is cooling and climate models are flawed. It's amazing the amount of people that don't see all the laws being passed restricting our freedoms, one after the other! People don't realise the number 1 way to get laws passed is to stage an event that outrages people then pass a law in response restricting our freedoms, all in the name of the public good of course, and the sheeple just accept it.
OK Listen up and learn. For those of you with your heads in the sand, this is what's happening,fact. The New World Order want people, especially kids weakened, to pose less risk to the implementation of the draconian one world govt. Protein and other vitamins and minerals we get from meat is vital for health, and builds up muscular strength which in turn increases bone density, releases testosterone and promotes overall health. Don't fall for their obvious evil lies.
Rubbish, meat provides many minerals that would require an impractical amount of vegetables to equal, that's why Vegetarians are unhealthy and weak. We're not going to fall for the obvious New World Order plan to reduce our meat/protein intake and weaken us. I'm keen on retaining my meat powered muscles to power my fist against the jaw of any NWO agent trying to trample my rights.
