School Food is horrible nutritionally...When I first started school, we had real food for Breakfast. But, sometime during Elementary School, they changed over to Cereal...To add insult to injury...the cereals were: Trix, Fruit Loops. Lucky Charms, and Frosted Flakes. Maybe if they quit hopping the kids up on sugar, they'd have more luck getting them to pay attention and sit still in class...which would go alot further towards improving test scores than the crap Bush is pushing on the schools.

Let's not forget Lunch: Fried Meat [or Pizza, Spaghetti, or Taco] served with a side of Fried Potatoes [Tater Tots or French Fries,] a Fruit Juice Bar, and Low-Fat Milk. More Sugar [and Trans-Fat.] Then, if they're in an Afterschool program, they feed them even more Sugar.

Plus, to top it all off...at least in the upper grades, most are getting less physical activity during the school day. No more Dodgeball before school, Basketball after you finished lunch, etc...Nope, now they just arrive at school, are pumped full of Sugar, forced to sit in a seat while they are taught to the standardized test du jour, and in many cases, either go home to an empty home where they stuff themselves with junkfood [because they're hungry from the Blood Sugar crash caused by the Sugary crap they were fed at school] or they stay for an Afterschool program where they get sugar-laden snacks. The only meal they eat at home is Dinner, and even then, in some cases it is McDonalds.

Lots of Carbs + Restricting Physical Activity + Drugs (Ritalin) to Make them Cooperative is not a recipe for Healthy Children, it's how you fatten up Animals for eventual slaughter.
