UNHEALTHY SCHOOL LUNCHES

  • NYT released an article documenting the bad lunches some rich schools provide their students
    • It’s appalling!
    • Schools aren’t spending money on healthy lunches
  • The best thing is basically a baked potato with broccoli and processed cheese.
    • Pretty sugary, but overall, could be worse!!
    • In the realm of school lunches, Vinnie is happy there is broccoli and cheese.
  • “Italian Dunkers” – these are grains and tomato sugar, basically.
  • Pizza sticks, lettuce salad, pudding dessert.
    • This sounds pretty unhealthy on the whole.
    • Lettuce, good, but the rest is about as bad as it gets .
      • Plus, you’re going to put dressing filled with sugar on this salad.
    • No protein or fat in here.
  • Tacos with extra processed stuff on top and around.
    • Put it in a shell, and now it’s unhealthy.
  • Potato coins; this just SOUNDS bad.
  • Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Corn, Dinner roll, & fruit is pretty typical.
    • The chicken is breaded.
    • It’s bread on top of bread with one of the worst grains – corn.
  • One of the worst items is juice slushies.
    • Juice is ALREADY straight sugar, so this just sounds even worse.
  • These meals will put kids to sleep.
