Comments on: School Lunches – What are Your Children Really Eating? http://babyminding.com/2008/04/30/school-lunches-what-are-your-children-really-eating/ Natural, organic resource for green-minded, discerning parents with a focus on organic eco-friendly living, reducing toxins around the home, and healthy eating Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:42:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Tela http://babyminding.com/2008/04/30/school-lunches-what-are-your-children-really-eating/comment-page-1/#comment-1333 Tela Tue, 24 Mar 2009 02:06:04 +0000 http://babyminding.com/2008/04/30/school-lunches-what-are-your-children-really-eating/#comment-1333 Teresa, I appreciate your comments and feedback. I do agree that it is important for children to fuel their bodies and by no means am I encouraging them to skip meals. I do however think that improvements can always be made in the quality of food offered by the majority of schools. And, I think the reason for the improvements that have been made since you were in school are due to heightened awareness among the education and parenting community which is often brought about by discussion such as this. Thank you for you for your input. I appreciate your hard work and commitment to our children! Teresa,

It is amazing the difference a child makes in the classroom after eating a school lunch and or breakfast. The majority of students only have the school lunches to depend on because there are some sorry parents out there who depend on the school system to take care of their kids and they take no responsibility themselves. School lunches are healthy and offer many choices for the students to make.School meals have come a long way since I was in school and every effort is being made to make sure that our children are "healthy children ready to learn."

You can get more information on that from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (www.cspinet.org). Also, thanks to the leadership of Alic Waters in Berkeley, CA, more and more schools are buying locally grown and even organic food. It's no where near enough, but it's a start.
