Don’t worry. I promise not to post horrible pictures of the sub-standard, sugar-laden, artificial color-filled, over cooked commodity that is the school lunch program in America. It’s enough to make any Real Food loving parent cry. Feeding our children well is a BIG problem. New standards released this month by the U.S.D.A. will do very little to actually change anything.
Fourth Graders Boycott School Lunch
And it’s about time! (Seriously, when bloggers start asking whether or not we feed children like pigs, you know that something is dangeroulsy wrong with the U.S. school lunch program.)
In Madison, WI last week, a group of fourth graders who’d been learning about the Children’s Crusade and Martin Luther King decided to stage a peaceful protest.
What were the protesting?
Unhealthy and “gross” school lunches.
