      You didn’t read the article.

      It linked to a study that refutes you.

      By 2017-2018, foods consumed at schools improved significantly and provided the best mean diet quality of major US food sources, without population disparities.

      The large improvements at schools were associated with increased whole grains and less saturated fat, SSBs (Sugar Sweetened Beverages), and sodium.

      Seeing the free meals provided by our schools over COVID they would cover their protein requirements by cheese there was rarely meat in any of the meals.

        I don’t think that’s a bad thing on its own. Meat isn’t the only source of protein that exists and Americans probably eat too much of it.

        Starting from an early age to not expect meat at every meal otherwise it’s not a meal is probably a good thing.

          Honestly more worried about the salt and fat from the cheese, though I guess most meat stuff would be similar.

          The ketchup as a vegetable controversy stemmed from proposed regulations of school lunches by the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)

          in 1981

          Mate, your hot take is older than my dad.

          On September 25, 1981, President Reagan withdrew the original regulations proposed by the Food and Nutrition Service due in part to the sharp criticism from the opposition

          Wow, this hot take has gone cold. Send it back.

                Oh not implying that. Just making a stupid comment for the yuks. I seriously learned something. All bad Presidents do at least one thing good. Except Jackson.

            Reagan said insane stuff like this all the time. He thought that America could survive a nuclear war, and that we could put the Starship Enterprise in orbit over the homeland to shoot down Soviet missiles. Basically he was Trump with better hair and smarter handlers.

            Never vote GOP. Never

              I like that he wanted to make in the Navy the official song of the Navy until somebody took him aside and pointed out a few things to him.
