Here is a new announcement about an important topic: kids’ school lunch programs. See the article at Putting Real Food in School Lunches.

There is still some industry-sponsored congressional meddling, but the plan is much improved from previous years.
It has been found that nearly 40 percent of the calories American children eat come from empty calories – cookies, sodas, pizza and the rest. This has resulted in paving the way for “picky eaters” with dull palates.
One of the big problems will be getting the kids to eat the healthier food unless it is reinforced on the home front. If children eat healthier at home then the changes in the school lunch program will go much smoother.
To healthy kids,
