20. For way too many children, 2/3 of their daily food intake takes place in school.
The breakfasts are nothing but sugar and fats. The lunches are just as bad or worse.

We aren't "pretending to be parents", but are showing genuine concern for what kids are eating and the consequential risks to their health. If that doesn't concern you, at least consider that your tax dollars are going toward the school lunch program and to the burdens on the health care system caused by poor nutrition.

BTW.... many of us are actual parents!
