Re: Committee wages fight against junk food

Food in school cafeterias has always been problematical. Whether it is food that parents send from home, or food that is served daily at school, unless there is a fun elelment to it, kids don't seem to want it. If the schools suddenly served only healthy foods, then I imagine more kids would bring lunch. Maybe small steps can be taken for ex. serve pizza made with low fat cheese and or whole grain crust. Offer vegetarian pizza i.e. vegetable toppings, not meat. French fries can be baked believe it or not! They aren't quite as good, but with ketchup, they aren't half bad. There are many other ideas like these that would make the food healthier, not perfect, but healthier!
