Not sure if you read the news with any frequency, but I saw a story that really upset me. Talking about how Congress had blocked legislation that would have improved the standards for our children. This would have been the first update to the school nutrition guidelines in 15 years! A lot has changed about nutrition and what we know about food since then! Heck, they even changed the food pyramid to a plate.
My stepmom is a lunch lady and often her and I talk about the craziness that is trying to find something that the kids will want to eat, yet fit into the guidelines. And what is actually considered a serving of fruit or vegetable. I don't envy her job, it's not always so easy.
Kudos to the USDA for trying to do what's right by our children and try to help the growing epidemic that is childhood obesity.
Congress, go ahead and keep allowing the tomato paste on pizza to continue to be counted as a vegetable serving.
Really? Does anyone else see a problem with that?
And the government wants to run healthcare.
