[blparent] Lunch lines

Not necessarily off topic as it is good to inform us blind parents as to
what's out there and what we should expect.

And in addition, the kids won't eat the more expensive "yucky" food.  Let 
them eat what they want.  Something in them is better than nothing. 
Otherwise you keep having to send sack lunches along.
But this is off topic as being blindness related.  Sorry.

Through the sunny fields of yesterday
Echo voices of children now grown,
Their golden peals of laughter
Ring upon the ivied stone.

By  MARY CLARE JALONICK. Associated Press. WASHINGTON     (AP) -- School
children would have to hold the fries - and pick up more whole grains,
fruits and vegetables - on the lunch line under proposed new federal
standards for school lunches. The new standards from the Agriculture
Department would be the first major nutritional overhaul of school meals in
15 years. They are expected to be announced Thursday. The guidelines would
require schools to cut sodium in those meals by more than half, use only
whole grains and serve low fat milk. It also would limit kids to only one
cup of starchy vegetables a week, so schools couldn't offer french fries
every day. President Barack Obama recently signed into law a child nutrition
bill that will help schools pay for the healthier foods, which are often
more expensive.
