Lunch Trays Got Too Lean in City’s Fight Against Fat
Worried that children were losing the war on obesity, New York City began to slim down its school lunch offerings several years ago, replacing fries with baked potato strips and introducing nonfat chocolate milk, whole grain pasta and salad bars, among other tweaks. In the process, the city also cut calories. So much so, city officials now acknowledge, that it often served children fewer calories than required by the federal government.Yeah. Low-fat, calorie-restricted diets. Guess what that leads to- Hypoglycemia and deactivation of the frontal cortex. Excellent education strategy, people.
Thanks for totally freaking me out for the day. I'll be twitching about all those sick kids you are just making sicker...
Non-fat chocolate milk? Really? Which part of that is nutritious?
