Most kids these days don't eat home cooked meals. That is sad. I wish the school cafeteria had more salad meals. I agree, you are what you eat. Most kids these days don't eat home cooked meals.

I try to get as creative as I can with their food so it's always interesting and doesn't fall into the groove of a pb&j, a bag of chips, and a juice box. This is difficult with my youngest being a pickier eater (my oldest will sometimes request to take sushi to school- so no problems, there). But as a sub-teacher at the school as well as an involved Mom, the problem isn't so much what MY kids are eating, but rather the junk that some of the other parents send in. As someone who tries hard to broaden my kids taste-buds and teach them about moderation and healthy eating, I love to see new education pieces like this one! Thanks for sharing it!

I agree - that's not right. Sheesh, it takes Liam a solid 30 minutes to eat a bowl of hot cereal in the morning! I was completely unaware of that, Brian. I agree – that's not right.
