Quote:Looking at both articles, I'm sure the truth falls somewhere in the middle.  There is no way schools in Italy have that type of lunch served on a daily basis, its fluff material to make the lunches here look even worse.

 

I think the real reason kids are unhappy is because the lunches are healthier than they used to be and they'd rather go back to the old stuff, which a ton of people complained about as well.

 

Both of the articles that I originally posted with should be taken with a "grain of salt".  I have seen other articles regarding the "healthier lunches" being served, and again I don't know how much of it to believe.

 

I'm all for eating healthy and I do my best to make good choices.  However, if I was a parent and my child was being served tofu and soybeans, that's where I draw the line.  I grew up eating real meat for protein.
