  School lunches

  I grew up on school lunches in the 50's and early 60's. Every thing was cooked on-site and everyone got at least one nutritious meal a day.

  After reading this article I went back and looked at classroom pictures of me in elementary school, and I was amazed at what I saw. There were no obese children. There were a few in the six years who were bigger than other children, but no one was the size of the kids I see today.

  I am so thankful that I grew up when I did, and that I was able to eat healthy food, even if I didn't always like it. At least there were adults who cared enough to make sure we got the nutrition we needed.

  It's too bad I can't say the same about adults today who's only concern is paying lower taxes, even if if means they shortchange their children's futures.On Time to reinvest in the school-lunch program posted 2 years, 2 months ago 9 Responses
