When my nephews started school, I made an effort to pack their lunches. The memory of using 10 to 15 napkins to "soak" the grease from the rectangular pizzas I ate from grade school through High School still haunts me to this day. It was not until my sophomore year of High School more "healthy" food were introduced, and often this a heavy cheese/meat/egg chef salad, and an over-waxed red apple. I honestly feel for Jamie Oliver. He has met resistance from schools and parents, usually in smaller towns, with the argument they grew up eating institutional food, and they turned out fine. Of course, they are often forgetting they are now plagued with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and weight gain they never seem able to shed. Unfortunately, they do not realize this was how they were trained to eat from an early age, and now they suffer the consequences. Schools scrambling to save their already stretched revenue opt for cheap and filling food. Jamie Oliver is trying to change the entire mindset of institutional eating that has been outdated for decades. What a big challenge! I fully support his efforts, and any efforts made to revolutionize the current school lunch menus!
