It’s been awhile since I was in highschool, but one thing I def. remember is the “quick” line. Like many highschools in the suburbs, the population of the area outgrew the building, and our cafeteria’s where overcrowded. I remmeber many times waiting in the hot food line only to have the bell ring minutes after I finally sat down. This led me to the “quick” line more times than not that served prepackaged foods (chips and chewy granola bars and such) and milkshakes. Eventually I got fed up and began bringing my own lunch, but I think the “quick” line could have easily been a “raw foods” line. it would have been just as fast to make a fruit smoothie as a milkshake

It’s good to have healthier school food, although I personally believe they should get rid of most lunch programs and rely more on parents sending their kids to school with their own packed lunches. I had way better food than the kids who ate from the cafeteria. Even the PB&Js with apples and carrot sticks that my mom packed for me is cheaper than the cafeteria meals and much healthier.

@SuzieQ: Sure, exercise is important — but a healthy diet is even more so. And why would adding more fruits and vegetables to a school lunch menu be a detriment to your child. They would still have a choice — but it’s important to give them one in the first place when it comes to purchasing something in the cafeteria.

go tobey! school food is TERRIBLE. at my school, they served hamburgers one day and every single kid who ate one went home sick with food poisoning. not to mention all the hair people always find in their food. and yet people ask me why i pack my lunch as if I’M insane.

Mr. Maguire, like so many of his ilk, forgets to add the importance of exercise. As a parent he has control over diet and exercise. I guess he’s become part of the food police that would dictate what OTHERS eat.

Wonderful letter. Thank you, Mr. Maguire. Although I am not a parent, I feel for those who are and want their kids to have healthy meals.
