The School-Lunch Test - New York Times

the problem with the studies is that it's for a lifetime of eating better and when the kids become adults to be able to make better choices. The short-term statistics don't matter too much. It can't be good to eat that many calories and that much fat. It's not healthy.

The thing I didn't like is that whole Berkeley, Alice Waters is a food god thing. She has the right idea, but the thing is that how are you going to have organics farms and sald in Minnesota in January? It's not practical. Few people in the world live within 50 miles of lettuce for more than 4 months a year. If you want to go back to the old days, my mom used to Napa cabbage for 6 months a year. There were no other fresh vegtables that would store that long. If that heppened in the midwest, people would be living on cabbage and spending all Septemebr canning foods. Do you think things are better?
