Alle-Kiski Valley schools disagree with what Jamie Oliver is saying - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Alle-Kiski Valley schools disagree with what Jamie Oliver is saying - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

This is the article I've been waiting for. Other school districts across the country are getting a bit...steamed up over Jamie's depiction of public school lunches. Where he depicts french fries and pizza on a daily basis, other schools have been serving baked fries and using part-skim mozarella on their pizzas for at least 4 years.

Of course, maybe that's the point - if Huntington, W. Va. had already implemented these changes, maybe they wouldn't be the most obese city in our country. They serve as a warning...and a wake up call. As this article points out, eating better can mean more expense (unless, of course, you can grow it yourself!!!) and parents must be on board for that to be able to happen.
