yeah, those lunch ladies were terrifying. again, this show was depressing but very good. it's just sad to know how far we have to go. i mean, kids who don't know how to use utensils? kids that think a tomato is a potato? kids who, after seeing the carcass ground up, are still willing to eat it because it looks like a nugget?

but there is hope. with guidance the kids started to get it.

I agree...he has got a long ways to go.

As we sat and watched it my 7 yr old even knew what a beet was and we NEVER eat those. I think I have bought them once, and that was a couple mos ago.

How can a community be so far out of touch with real food?

Although I did want to slap Jamie for teaching a pre-diabetic boy to make pasta :smack

Come on, J you can do better than that!

I finally saw it and the stuff I read was inaccurate! :rolleyes: Sheesh! He does criticize the amount of carbs, but has to put them into his school lunch menus to achieve the amounts required by the USDA's charts and graffs. Double-sheesh. We have an organization who's aim is to create markets for grains governing what our children are eating. Triple-sheesh. :he

wow and double wow.. heck i'll throw in a triple wow for Free.

i'm surprised at how defensive the parents are. its not like this is any big surprise...or should be. wow.

i thought the best part was when J was standing there dumping the trays with the Principle and J said that in England he would have sent the kids back to finish to the table.

i also thought it was sad that the food director (??) kept saying that the kids had to like the food.... i know it was a million years ago when i was a kid... but we didnt really have a choice.

what an eye opener.

and thanks WZ.. now i'm gonna be singing about sloppy joes all day
