Mostly because I don't think that the USDA can justify the changes that they are trying to make to school menus through a Twitter chat. It was a good try, but when you are limited to 140 characters to answer very serious questions, I don't think that that is enough to redeem themselves.<br /><br />I agree with Dirt Road Charm, but at the same time, I know that a great majority of American students rely on the schools for food. I agree that healthy eating begins with parents, but I also know that many parents are just as obese as their children....what are we to do?<br /><br />fromheelstoboots.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790327154193097194.post-22586371629255506762012-08-30T08:11:23.375-05:002012-08-30T08:11:23.375-05:00I'm having a hard time deciding where to stand...I'm having a hard time deciding where to stand on this topic. I look back to our school lunches and by no means were they protein flourishing. I'm fairly certain we had fries 2-3 times a week. With what many university studies are showing what a growing child needs as far a protein a week the 12 oz max covers it. I feel that we as parents sometimes need to take responsibility as well. If all u feed is junk food at home then no fruits and veggies will not be appealing to a child at school. And as for the athlete thing. I was a very involved student athlete and we didn't get supplemented just bc we were athletes. We brought snacks for before practice. Idk. This is a hard one.
