schools already have 2%, whole, chocolate, fat free, and vitamin d enhanced milk

If you don't like cows milk, bring a doctors note or buy a soft drink

all they would have to do is take the meat off of the pizza and out of the sauce, or at least keep them seperate. a salad bar would provide enough sources to make up from the small amount of protein intake lost from the meat.

the students can pick them out as well can't they? anyways, i don't disagree, it would probably be easy to do, but those studnets should still pay for any associated costs, however small.

It usually depends on the financial state of the community

Rich areas (san marino, malibu) usually allow you a choice of what you get to eat, but on the other hand, poorer suburban/rural areas use a calender style lunch menu

Also, the "poorer" schools usually get government surplus (frozen dates, whatever) and make do with that too

No, on grounds that not enough people would buy it to make it worth selling.

However, if they did sell it, it wouldn't bother me.

why not? sounds like a good idea considering that from my experience and most reports, school food is really bad for you junk+soda. frankly they don't give you a choice, your choice is between cheese pizza(why don't they have more toppings?) and a sorry excuse for a salad that costs way too much which will a kid probably chose? as for the guy saying its mostly meat and disguisting, stop it with the disguisting remarks. maybe we meat eaters should call vegans disguisting more.. arg. anyways much of what the scshools serve is NOT meat. muhc of it is fried food, french fries, tater tots, fried whatever.


as for soymilk, theres a variety of quality amoung the brands, hell i think even consumer reports did a comparison between the stuff, i think you generally got what you paid for and if your squeemish about its plain taste or new to soy, theres plenty of flavoured soy out there(vanilla/strawberry etc). being asian i was exposed to soy milk pretty early, so it doesn't bother me they have these little box drinks of soy milk that were pretty popular.


the funny thing is schools fill their grounds with snack and soda machines...cut back on physical education..when kids are getting fatter and fatter.

For one im not spending my tax dollars cuz someone feels cow milk is bad. I mean comon they make the soy milk taste like the normal one (or they try anyway ), so why not keep the normal one. As for the vegetarian stuff, im all for salads and i do like soy meat. It would keep me and the other kids ballanced.

i called the meat in school lunches disgusting. it is just processed garbage that kids should not have to eat. and i'm argueing that as a whole school lunches should be more healthy.

Im not in school anymore, well I am but not in HS so I dont eat there, I eat at home. But when I did you got it pretty right-on-good. Junk + Soda was pizza, skittles, big pretzels with salt, or some big spiral sugary things. Im not fat or anything, but im also not that big anyway.

they should, but they can be healthy and still have meat. anyways, kids do not have to eat anything they don't want to, if they really don't like the school lunches, they can just bring their own lunches.
