School Breakfasts (and lunches)
"Rosalie B." wrote in message ... I must hae misunderstood Nan. But she seemed to me to be saying that accessibility should trump health and that non-healthy foods should thus be offered. I disagree with that without question. Hot dogs, while they have preservatives, aren't pure junk as they have protein. Mac and cheese - also has some nutrients. I object on principle to hiding veggies in something else. I would regard candy and foods that were almost all sugar as being junk foods. Basically I would not be hard line on 'healthy' foods having had some picky eaters who would not make a fuss but would just not eat if they didn't like what was offered. I've had two of them who passed out during afternoon activities because they didn't care for what was served at lunch. One of them was at a Pony Club rally and passed out in her horse's stall. One of them 'fell out' in formation at the US Air Force Academy. It wasn't that they wanted junk foods necessarily. It was that they didn't like certain combinations or certain foods. One will eat no fish or seafood except fried shrimp, and will eat almost no vegetables except salad. This dd is now an adult of age 44. I would have to agree with you, Rosalie, but based on prior threads I've encountered here, there are people out there who don't object to fainting from lack of food. The child must starve for one month before there should be cause for concern. Fainting from lack of food should be a lesson for the child to learn from /sarcasm. |
