USDA to ban "Junk Food"

Do people really have a problem with kids having their diets being limited to healthy foods rather than the alternative? And bear in mind these are public schools and vending machines owned and operated by the school district, and it's their prerogative to decide what foods to sell to begin with.

Speaking from a personal standpoint, I could have done without the general lack of healthy foods while growing up. Flaming Hot Cheetos and Cinnamon rolls certainly didn't help my overall health while I was still in school.

At least for me, it's the fact that, once again, parents are having their jobs done for them because they're so awful at it. We don't do anything to stop parents from being awful.

We're blaming the food for the kids being overweight, but it's not the food's fault, it's the parents' fault.

And in reality, is changing the school cafeteria menu REALLY going to do anything? No. The kids who overeat/eat the wrong things will just go home and continue to do what they always do. The kids that get prepared lunches where it's the wrong kinds of foods will have the same issues. Changing one meal in three will do nothing.

Hell, at least when I was in school, the kids that had problems didn't even get those problems from school lunches.

The problem is that the parents are not being parents.
