my thoughts on school lunches
I noticed yesterday that a Chicago school was banning kids from bringing lunches from home. I think that's ridiculous, but I'll get into that shortly. When I was a kid, I did eat school lunches, for the most part I didn't have a problem with them, like a few people do, the only thing I didn't eat much of was peas, lol. It was tough trying to get lunch done in time sometimes, because you only have a certain amount of time to eat but for the most part, I had no problems with lunch. Now as for the Chicago school that banned bagged lunches, their motive may be to have children healthier and I think schools are trying to serve more healthier stuff and get rid of snacks and sodas, but at the same time I think the government, especially Michelle Obama, is trying to dictate what parents should make kids eat and what not. I think from what I've read from friends and that, most parents do serve healthier food in the bagged lunches, just some maybe have something that is considered "unhealthy". I don't like the government telling parents what they can and cannot eat or do for their children. Let parents decide what is best for the kids,not the government. No parent is perfect and we all make mistakes, believe me, I have, but don't like being told by Obama what we should do. Thanks for listening to me. :-)
