<DIV>Tom Hansen is obviously unaware that teachers don't make the menu choices for children, that is done by administrators. Administrators are also the people that make the decision to keep starting salaries low in favor of pay raises to themselves and untalented teachers sitting at the desk longer or with more letters behind their name, even if those letters are not even related to the subject they are teaching. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan<BR><BR><B><I>Tom Hansen <thansen@moscow.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)" name=Generator> <STYLE> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} </STYLE> <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"

They might not be the kind of food I eat or what I serve my kids, but they do meet the standards set forth by the government. If MSD served bibb lettuce salads, braised tofu, hummus, extra-lean ground beef, fresh peaches, and whole-wheat bread at every meal, you'd be bitching about the food waste, because there would be a lot of it. These are kids, and kids eat what they've been raised with and what other kids it. Should MSD go into the homes of all infants throughout the district to make sure they're being fed properly and then fine-tune their menus accordingly?<BR><BR>The <st1:place

Ms. Pengilly last year won a statewide award for innovative, efficient, and nutritionally appropriate menu offerings; her work is considered a model for other districts and she has kept MSD on the leading edge of school nutrition. You ought to be grateful -- to her and to the scores of other MSD employees who are on the front lines and who sacrifice daily so that ALL kids get the best we can offer.

Yet looking at the school lunch program it looks a lot closer to child abuse
with hot dogs, pizza, hamburgers, and nachos as common staples for children as young as five or six under the care of MSD. Teaching kids to eat greasy foods high in empty calories; fast food that is loaded with sodium and other preservatives is not taking care of children and providing them with a good education on how to eat correctly. Poor diets early in life leads to increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, and shorter life spans plagued with health problems and huge medical bills.
