Default Re: A vegetable....

There is a small percentage of vocal parents that fight for improved food but most psrents don't care very much, if at all. My wife is on a school board (Catholic but obtains hot lunches from the school district) and the lunch program has never been brought up. Our son usually takes a bag lunch (PBJ, fruit) but nearly always has pizza on Tuesday (fresh, cooked in mobile Straw Hat kitchen). I feel better knowing it is a vegetable.

If a large percentage of parents cared very much about healthy foods do you really think we would have so many fast food restaurants?

I see it carry over to scouts as well as most kids have had no exposure to cooking beforehand which is a lot different than how I was raised.
