Some School Systems Are Dropping Out of Healthy Food Programs

  Here is my solution to the problem, stop having people sit in classes for eight hours a day!  How about people bring their own food?  Just not have schools have any part in food.  If you got a job, your employer does not feed you.  Except they might have a vending machine right near ya, so watch out!  I read an article that basically says that sitting around for too long causes your heart rate to stay low for too long that it can not go back up no matter how hard you try.  Oh here it is http://www.cracked.com/article_18654_6-ways-your-office-literally-killing-you_p2.html  You can thank me all for saving your miserable lives that probably been at jeopardy.

The problem is not that the food is healthy, it's how awful and disgusting it is. I just graduated HS in May, so I know how terrible lunches are. The portion sizes are too small, and the food is downright nasty. It doesn't look good and it doesn't taste good. If the food were higher quality, more kids would be eating it.

A major problem with U.S. obesity is that portion sizes have grown.

At my high school, we were given the same portion sizes as they would give the elementary school kids. You can't tell me a 12th grader can eat the same amount as a 4th grader and be satisfied. Of course, this depends on the school, but that is how it was at mine. 

And the worst part is, lunches were still high very high in calories.

YES! Now todays kids can have sausage Pizza again like I did back in the day at school! Take that HOOD rats!Jakandsigz
