In our school district, there are approximately 65% of the kids on reduced or free lunches, but our school serves breakfast in the classroom, and makes their own lunches for the kids.<br />I eat there every Tuesday, and while some of it is bland, it is healthy. All whole grains, fresh fruits/veggies, skim milk, no fried foods, chicken or fish most days, etc. And, amazingly enough, the kids LOVE it.<br />The kids also get a 30 minute "free" period after lunch to go outside or to the gym, and have a 45 min P.E. class every day.Misfit Mommy (aka the Antichrist)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06452239594796206385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152579126175694711.post-52434649375644301342011-01-30T09:31:01.614-08:002011-01-30T09:31:01.614-08:00@ Sassy, those damn sodas sure dont help.@ Sassy, those damn sodas sure dont help.Oilfield Trashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00527580828815598952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152579126175694711.post-90972934265613439962011-01-29T12:00:06.895-08:002011-01-29T12:00:06.895-08:00Thank goodness I've always been cute as h*ll w...Thank goodness I've always been cute as h*ll with absolutely no effort whatsoever. ;o)<br /><br />But when I was in school, we had 1 meal AND 3 recess breaks AND P.E. class every single day.

Plus, it seems as if there are multiple meals (such as snack-times and breakfasts) where kids can buy their snacks from candy machines. And, all those meals can come with soda. <br /><br />I blame the soda. Even the diet sodas.
