I am x-posting this here and in the healthy eating forums as I hope this community may have some experience on this topic . . .see below:
All -
We have been working for 3 long years on our school's "Wellness Committee" to fix the horrendously awful school lunch being served to our kids on a daily basis -- almost entirely processed reheated foods with an ingredient list a mile long.
We have seen a very recent shift in attitude with the administration - and for some reason the principal unilaterally and without warning decided to remove chocolate milk from the lunch room. This has caused major backlash apparently and the principal is now looking to the Wellness Committee to back her up with some info, studies, data, etc. to support her decision.
While removing chocolate milk may not have been the first thing I would have done - I do like the direction this is moving and want to support her.
Please can you provide me with any info, articles, references - anything that could help us? Thanks you so much in advance!
