Do you know that most school cafeterias serve food which meets government standards for quality health based upon the new nutritional guidelines?

What a joke!

Many private schools even have higher standards than those the government has provided.

Here’s a sample 5 day private school lunch menu:

Monday: Big Mac
Tues:       Pizza Hut
Wed:       Taco Bell
Thur:       Wendy’s Chicken Sandwich
Fri:          Carl Jr. / Hardies

I’ll keep the name of this private school private.

Along with this junk food diet fruit juice and milk was provided.

The fruit juice is pasteurized which makes it nothing more than sugar water and the milk is pasteurized & homogenized making it a highly allergenic food source. Of course neither are organic, making matters worse. All this is approved as being well above government standards.
Here’s the real catcher:

Compare this to what prisoners in Lucasville, Ohio receive, including death row inmates, for their dinner:

Tuna salad, turnip greens, coleslaw, baked potato, orange & choice of beverage

To cap it off, prisoners have better facilities for daily exercise than do many elementary and middle schools!!!!!

I’m not about to get too political, however, where are our priorities when it comes to our children’s well being and future health?
