[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 353614, member: 1722"] Muttmeister- I agree completely. I also believe, as a taxpayer, that tax $$$ are being spent ineffectively in a program that subsidizes the meals for the nation's poorer children. We're fortunate that I can send Duckie to school with a healthy lunch. There are other kids who don't have that option. There's way too much fat, not enough fresh produce, fiber or lean protein available. Ketchup is actually considered a vegetable! Also, in our district, the kitchens are run by a major corporation under contract. They make most of their profit by pushing the extras: cookies, chips & ice cream. I actually placed a restriction on Duckie's account that she can only buy snacks by paying cash, no charging. But most parents don't realize they can do this.. so the kids buy their lunch for $1.65 and spend another .75 on chips or ice cream, or .50 for cookies. [/QUOTE]
