School Lunch Menus are Meaningless!

Common sense will tell you that menus don’t mean much in any dining establishment. What matters is what the food is like when you sit down to eat it. As parents and advocates, we need to sit down and eat the food our kids are eating in school to truly assess whether it supports their health.

Parents across the country have no idea what is being served in the cafeteria. The USDA encourages parents to visit the cafeteria and have lunch with their kids. This is truly the only way that parents can know for sure what their kids are eating.

You don’t need a degree in biochemistry or nutrition to know if the food being served in your child’s cafeteria is good to be eating on a daily basis. It’s really about common sense. Parents are the real customers in the cafeteria. We’re the ones who pay for lunch. Our bottom line is the health and well being of our kids.
