[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 262585, member: 84"] I dunno about other state's school menu's, but the one's in the schools my kids have attended have been anything but healthy. They mostly consist of junk food...on the protest that kids won't eat healthy food. Funny, when I was a kid we used to get a 3 course meal.......better than what I ate at home.......and I don't recall a single kid going hungry. But those meals are far more expensive to make than say the tacos....... K had a weight problem as a child. Not enough exercise and too much fast food/junk food. She came to visit every summer and went home 20-30 pounds lighter. One year we had to go out and buy her clothes because what she brought was hanging on her. I didn't do anything special. My kids rarely got junk food or fast food. Snacks were fruit and popcorn (unbuttered) and fresh veggies. They drank sugar free koolaide I made myself and water. The only sweet snack they got were popcicles and at 20 cal per popcicle that wasn't bad. And my kids played outside all day. If it was 40 degrees plus and not raining.....they were outside running around, riding bikes, skating, playing ball, swimming ect. So K never dieted at our house.......she just lived life the way my kids did. lol But boy that first week would sure be heck as she whined we had no snack food/sweets she could sit and eat all day, and that she had to go outside and actually move. lol [/QUOTE]
