I am so sick of the USDA. When are they going to get it? Did you notice in this article that low-fat is their choice of attack at our children's obesity? For years, they have claimed to feed our children healthy foods and I can attest this is a completely false claim. My daughter's school food is atrocious. They feed her foods such as french fries, fried chicken, steak biscuits, baked beans, etc, etc. I rarely see any green vegetables show up on the school lunch menu. In addition, the USDA considers things such as baked beans a "healthy" vegetable. Oh yes, molasses, so healthy. The problem isn't fat!!! It's sugar. They are stuffing our children with sugars and carbs and they still don't get it that they are giving them exactly the wrong foods and apparently, will continue to do so.
