Ricky, you surely must remember your kids school lunch days?
Your own school lunch days?
Yes, I'm certain SOME things have changed but how much?
Why is your position so different now than it was when your kids (obviously fit kids at that) had to put up with the slop served? And did they ever take a sack lunch to school? If so how can you pretend the school district knows better than you on how to feed your kids? You state yourself how you saw first hand how parents would give their daughters crap to eat during a game, what if the school district regulated what kids ate during high school games as well? Maybe you give the girls oranges for half time? They say, nope, can't do that and they insist they eat say mixed veggies from their 10 year old can of crap wilted vegetables? It's that or nothing and the girls crash later in the game? It's the same thing here, the school knows better the kids eat what is put in front of them or nothing at all, and you have no problem with that.
and the claim you made that "most" parents support this principals position?
Where did you get that from? Some certainly do, yet those many articles I read seem to indicate just the opposite.
