From The Atlanta Journal Constitution?..
The AJC has a good story today about the ongoing evolution of school lunches, an issue that has gained more attention due to the First Lady?s commitment to ending childhood obesity.
Among the changes: More focus on the presentation of meals and more effort to cajole students into eating more fruits and veggies. Gwinnett has had luck with a salad of watermelon, cucumber, orange and mint but not with a watermelon, feta cheese and basil salad. (I have been finding the latter at potlucks this summer. I don?t like it, either, but everyone else does.)
In prior blogs, we have discussed whether schools can serve as ground zero for combating the childhood obesity epidemic in this country. Schools can?t control how students eat once the dismissal bell rings. I often see middle and high school students going straight from school to either Starbuck?s or Dairy Queen. Regardless of which, most kids walk out with frothy, calorie-laden drinks.
I also think that chips ? considered party food when I was growing up ? are now a staple of children?s diets. I was paying for gas this weekend at a convenience store in north Georgia and saw a youth group en route back to Atlanta from North Carolina. The youth leaders were gassing up the church van, and the kids were grabbing a snack. Almost everyone had a bag of chips and a soda.
