Topic: Who Should Be Involved with School Lunches

You know when I was younger and I seen the older personnel engaged in political debate about this or that and I would think they must not have anything better to do. Now, I am there and I understand that they were concerned about the government and where it was headed and they stayed engaged and did not take things for granted.

So, now we have the big talk about one party saying the other should not be involved in school lunches and it should be the parents saying what should be in the school lunch program. Do, you smell a rat? I do, as I believe that it is good for the government to be involved if it is for the correct reasons. Health is a good reason and the government is involved in a lot of other areas which affect our health. For some children, school may be the only healthy meal that they will get and I see nothing wrong with placing more vegetable and fruits in the meals. It is in our best interest to have the healthy meals and children learn what is correct. Fast food in school is not the way!

Watch this in your area and look at what is currently being served and where it comes from. Once you know where the items to make up the meals comes from you can follow the money to who it benefits the most.

For sure the parents should be involved in the school lunch program, but it should be parents that have been educated first on proper nutrition. You want a real eye opener? Go to a large supermarket and sit back and watch what is going through the checkout line. Then read this again and see if there is truth or this is a bunch of junk I am talking!

Look at the number of children that we have that are obese, have high blood pressure, and other health related conditions which can be linked to diet. Then look down the road on who will be defending our country and the physical condition they will be in.

I never preach one party over another, but what I do preach is whatever it takes for our country and the people living in it! Time to vote is coming upon us, so get informed, be informed, and vote!
