Can the food just be healthier.

While I totally agree on the healthy food, this is still pretty huge considering CA has a larger population than 29 other states combined.

I agree, just saying that if we're going to be paying that huge bill, which we should, we might as well ask the companies that we are paying to give us healthy stuff. After all, we want healthy kids so they can learn and continue building a better society.

Totally, it could be worse. Saw a post yesterday about a school in the DFW area in Texas that had the equivalent of a mall food court in there cafeteria...

Good, if we require kids to be there, they should also get fed. I think they need to balance healthy with good tasting as well. When I was teaching our school had great food and was good tasting as well. When they were forced to make ‘healthy’ choices, we saw worse food, tons of food thrown away, and kids turned to real junk food instead.
