School Lunch Lacking

If you did your learning at a public school, you probably hurled at some point in time after eating the mystery meat served at the school cafeteria.

Recently, two Louisiana parishes sampled were the only school districts out of the 20 surveyed in the U.S. that failed!  Caddo Parish was one of those surveyed that received an "F" for the lunch served to its pupils.   According to the survey, it was mainly because Caddo schools didn't meet the standards on fat content, food choice, and lack of food group balance.

A couple of weeks ago I ate a tray lunch with my son Trale at his school.   The boneless chicken wings were a little dry, but it wasn't so bad.   It had great veggies, fruit, and milk too.

When I was in school, I remember the brocoli was brown and my favorite day was pizza day.   I always got strange looks when I ate the salisbury steak.

What was your favorite food you -would not- eat at school?

I meant to add this too... I read once that the school lunch diet is related to the grades a child makes and could determine if they later become violent in class... strange...

I remember something they called Shepherd's Pie. Yeah, it was mashed taters, some brownish red meat in a lumpy gravy and some melting sprinkled government cheese on top.

It looked like it had already been eaten. I LOVED that stuff.

Go figure!

My school had really good food. I bought my lunch almost every day! The taco salad was better than I can get at most Mexican restaurants...and the Mexican pizza was good too! Nothing was a mystery, and it was all good!

I remember the Mac and cheese was pretty pasty! ...and the five gallon tub of mayonnaise. Mmmm!
