Congress may think it's cheaper to feed kids garbage for lunch, but they should think about the medical costs for those kids when they're older and developing diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart problems, not to mention becoming obese, which creates a plethora of issues. I like the point about cucumbers vs fries; it's true, don't buy junk and your kids won't eat it as much. Make sure you have them eating healthy right from the start, their taste buds will get used to vegetables and whole grains. There's nothing wrong with dessert, I love pastries, but they are treats, and they are good quality pastries, not twinkies or some other trash that has no expiry date. Congress may not care about your kids' health, but let's take responsibility and start thinking for ourselves. Now, more than ever, we have access to so much information. Don't rely on money hungry politicians to tell you what's goof for you or your kids. Do the research and make healthy choices.
