It really makes you think about what goes into the food you put in your mouth. Just being aware of what goes into that food has made me think twice about swinging through a drive-thru.

The food guidelines the schools have to work with are ridiculous, however, so you wind up with a pizza full of processed plastic crap & God only knows what chemicals labeled as "healthy" & therefore being reimbursable by the feds, whereas a chicken with brown rice dish made from scratch is not "healthy" because it needs another bread. Or a hamburger & fries (all straight from the box & loaded with preservatives & other junk) with "optional salad" (that no one opts for) meets the requirements for 1-1/4 cup of fruits & vegetables for high school kids, but a chicken/7 veggie stir fry, again made from scratch, does not.
