School Lunches

Did you eat school lunch every day as a child? If so, what was it like? Was it healthy? Thankfully, being raised from a Mom who is a dietitian, we had our lunches made every day. Mom would make delicious lunches, and I thank her for that! Sometimes I didn't think they were the most delicious meals compared to my friends fried chicken sandwiches...but I ate my homemade lunch, am now am very thankful I did.

The point of this post is that I'm a huge advocate of children eating healthy. I want schools to get healthier meals in their cafeterias. People say that eating healthy is expensive, and I do agree with that to a point...it's our government that decides prices and we are all working to get those prices down on fruits, veggies and other healthful foods. I hope one day our school system changes back to the basics of food and gets rid of the fast food, and nasty things. I could go on and on about this, but I will spare you.
