How About a Nice Steaming Bowl of Crap?

Did you know that fat kids as young as 10 have the arteries of 45-year-olds?





Obviously not a good thing.

So I went looking to see what food, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, is being served to kids in school.

I settled on Johnson City, Tennessee for no particular reason and scoped out what they're feeding the little darlings this week.

West Side Elementary

Breakfast Menu

Cereal, Pop Tart, juice and milk

Lunch Menu

MONDAY — Chicken nuggets with roll or peanut butter and jelly sandwich, creamed potatoes, Florentine veggies, fruit

TUESDAY — Spaghetti with meat sauce and roll or bologna sandwich, green beans, marinated veggies, fruit

WEDNESDAY — Pig in a blanket or turkey and cheese sub, tater tots, baby carrots, fruit

THURSDAY — Turkey and dressing with roll or ham and cheese sub, creamed potatoes, gravy, peas, slaw, fruit

FRIDAY — Pizza or beans and wieners with toast, corn, salad, fruit

First of all the alleged 'Breakfast Menu' blows me away. Pop Tarts? Aren't Pop Tarts pieces of cardboard with flavored glue on them?

Moving on to lunch -- can we say starch? Bologna sandwich? Pig in a blanket? Yeah, well we are what we eat, aren't we?

Wieners with toast?

Good Lord! This is what our Federal guidelines permit?

Dr. Michael Schloss, a New York University heart disease prevention specialist, said the evidence shows obesity is more than a cosmetic issue for children.
"If you've seen what's on the menu for most school lunches, these findings are no surprise," he said. "The time has come to seriously deal with the issue of childhood obesity and physical inactivity on a governmental and parental level."

And after the kids eat this excrement in school, they probably have Big Macs or Whoppers for dinner.
