The truly bold step is eating school lunches

NEWS ITEM: "This is a bold step forward in the struggle to help 35 million young people lead healthier lives. This one policy can add years and years and years to the lives of a very large number of young people." --Former President Clinton, announcing that the nation's largest beverage distributors have agreed to halt nearly all sales of sodas to public schools -- a step that will remove the sugary, caloric drinks from vending machines and cafeterias around the country.

The only thing left in the bold struggle to improve young people's health is to improve their cafeteria food. Pictured here is a "healthy" lunch at the Chicago Public Schools. The typical lunch has a slice of pizza instead of the chicken. Note the "vegetable" offering.

BTW, guess what the biggest complaint students have about these lunches. Yep, not enough fries. Bring on the carbs!
