We should keep soda machines in school, as well as pizza. Those parents who want to regulate children's lunches, are a bunch of overprotective nutcases. In fact, there have been protests set up by parents, to change the actors for Santa Claus from being fat to being skinny, because they think that Santa is setting a bad example child nutrition.

Regulating food for fat children is like taking away a drug addict's heroin, they'll probably start suffering from chocolate withdrawal symptoms.

In class a few weeks ago, I recieved a brochure about how the school lunch has changed-

No carbonated beverages will be available from food services or venidng machines.

Beverages are limited to 12-ounce portions except milk and water.

Vegetables are steamed without added butter.

All food items - including breaded and potato items - are baked, not fried.

Is this really what you want to do to our children?

When I go to lunch, I order up a nice, sugary lemonade drink, a bag of goldfish and some ice cream and I need that "rush", and I may have some THC to stay focused just like you adults need caffeine.
