Also, the school schedules are not normal and are not easy to adapt to all the time. High School starts at 7:25 and lunch starts at 10, if they even have a lunch that day. My HS kids get home at 2:30 really hungry, ready to eat anything. Middle School starts at 9 and my son didn't start lunch until 1:20. So the schedules do have alot to do with thier hunger patterns and grabbing something quick to eat. I understand both sides and I would say having healthier choices might improve learning and health. That is until I see the kids walking in with energy drinks, sodas and junk purchased by thier parents.

Parents can view every purchase thier kids make on www.myschoolbucks.com. They register with the child's school number and can add money to the child's account. Every purchase is made at the cafeteria line and can be seen online. I know if my child is buying a bag of doritos and 2 caprisuns each day instead of the full lunch. If they choose to buy an ice cream once a week I generally don't care but if they are buying junk everyday then I say something.

For starters put all the fat students in one class and give them a fat teacher. I know there are a bunch of them. That way the fat students can see what their going to look like if they don't change their eating habits.

What about the high school kids who leave school at lunch to get fast food? Or the parents who show up at lunch time with bags of McDonald's?

Somewhere along the way we forgot how to say "no."

This is a local School Board issue . That way if the pubic in that area has a problem they can go right to the source of the problem.
Cut back State and eliminate Federal Dept of Education.

The vendors have contracts with the City on what can be served. By limiting what is available, it would put undue restrictions on small business, thereby damaging the economy and sending the country into bankruptcy. Let the kids get fat, corporation profits MUST come first!
