I know it’s different sides of the pond and all, but Jamie Oliver tackled something like this in “Jamie’s School Dinners”. Simply put, the food being served in cafeterias had less heath value than a McDonalds dinner, and it was being fed to the kids all day. So he started a movement to change that, to put healthy and veggie-filled foods on the menu, without breaking the schools budgets. I don’t know how lasting the action was, but it worked in the short term. Are the kids at the schools that adopted Jamie’s eating plan “abortions” who should get AIDS? The food kids get served at school can have a lasting effect on their health. If all they’re served is “gross chicken patties and gross hamburgers, with soggy french fries on the side. EVERY DAY…” then that’s what they’re going to want to eat every day (tastes are created by what you’re exposed to). Those foods can and will cause health problems if served in high proportions every day. It’s heartening to see the kids wanting more fresh veggies, wanting a salad bar. If all the school thought to serve is the aforementioned hamburgers and maybe some frozen green beans, then it’s definitely a great thing the kids getting together to write to the food staff, discussing food choices and hopefully getting some positive changes made. In short - RFC\* next time you fucking dick. \*Read For Comprehension ---

[QUOTE=Kneepants Erasmus, the Humanist] **VC03** , are you even trying anymore? There are plenty of legitimate things that deserve your ire. Get crackin’. [/QUOTE] He doesn’t come within 50 yards of a legitimate gripe. Often, he’s lucky to be in the same area code as a legitimate gripe. Plus, he can’t answer this thread, as there are only two answers: (1) “I’m an idiot.” -or- (2) “I’m a troll.” Neither looks good on the resume.
