This week (March 8-12) is
National School Breakfast Week, even says so on the
school menu calendar. Sounds like a great time to educate the kids on how important breakfast is and how to make good nutritional choices, right?
Let's take a look at Grayson's school's breakfast menu for the week:
- Pancakes w/blueberries (I'm assuming these aren't whole wheat)
- Steak biscuit (fried?)
- Scrambled egg, sausage, toast
- Manager's Choice (???)
- Chicken biscuit (fried?)
Where's the fruit? Where's the whole grains? How about a yogurt, or some high fiber cereal? Healthy breakfast is easy and affordable.
Here's what the week should have looked like, so why did our school system drop the ball?
Time to write a letter!
