The thing that bothers me about the whole Jamie Oliver thing, is that I think it a huge publicity stunt and that the hard work is already done.<\/p>\n
Remember, I teach high school and I have been in a Texas (Dallas), urban school for 17 years. When I first started at my school, they had pie at every meal and the neighborhood would order and buy them. <\/p>\n
That was the first to go. Two problems, the possible abuse of money and the fat and sugar in the pies, but man or man, they made fabulous Chess pie.<\/p>\n
Then the cookies left. They had huge-mongous cookies for $.50 Former students would sneak in at lunch time to buy them a few times a year.<\/p>\n
I think the fry vats are finally good, one of the last to go. <\/p>\n
Our cooks cook and man they can make a mean whatever they make. Most of the prep work is done at a central location, but is fresh food. They have chicken at least once a week, baked, and very good. I will admit that the most popular items are pizza and burritos.<\/p>\n
By the way, I don\u2019t have problems with breakfast pizza \u2013 what is the difference between breakfast pizza versus a bisquit, eggs and meat? It will get kids to eat breakfast, all the power to you. It depends on the fat, processed sugar, and processed content.<\/p>\n
Oh, yeah, and when I wouldn\u2019t breakfast, my mother made low fat and low sugar oatmeal. Just enough to bind the stuff and make it seem like a cookie.<\/p>\n
Our vending machines are off until after lunch, along with any other food fundraisers. In fact those don\u2019t happen until after school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
