Also keep in mind that a lot of PCRM's funding comes from PETA. What more need I say.

I do agree that schools are feeding kids a lot of crap and have snack and soda machines available as well. I think a lot of the nutritional education needs to be done at home, but then what do most ADULTS know about nutrition? Next to nothing unless they are going by the infamous food pyramid. I think the kids need to be given more healthy alternatives in school cafeterias, but I also think it's going to be a long time coming. Most school districts are strapped for funds and feed cheap foods (carbs) to try to maintain some type of budget. They also make money on the vending machines, at least this is the rational I've heard bantered about as to why vending machines have been placed in schools at all.
