But pink slime has been a part of millions of people’s diet for almost a century. Remove it and those people might just outlive the administration.
Pink slime is just meat. That’s not the processed food we need to be worried about.
Yet. Processed lunch meats are often made of the stuff
Banning is all swell and dandy but a big issue that most schools have is having to make lunch for so many kids with so little money.
And on top of that there’s the outrageous charges they place on families and the draconian debt collection measures they sometimes rely on.Banning is easy, solving is not. Sorry.
Your concerns are not valid for my state of California. School lunches are provided through state and federal funding to all kids.
California might as well be another country at this point. I mean, we do have the fourth largest economy in the world.

California schools are mandated to offer breakfast and lunch to every child for free, so not a concern on that front.
While Texas banned school meals altogether! “If god meant for you to eat he would have provided you a sack lunch” said Gov Abbott
Yeah, Texas isn’t kind to it’s citizens. Power (heat), food, you name it… They don’t care unless they (the people in charge) are getting paid.
Seems rich coming from a wealthy, disabled politician. Sure, god doesn’t provide sack lunches to poor kids, but he apparently does hand out wheelchairs, ADA ramps, elevators and door buttons to you?
Don’t slam the door in other’s faces. There’s a reason why traditional America did things like the ADA and EPA.
I have mixed feelings on this. Multiple family members worked in public schools, and a lot of kids want garbage processed foods. They know and like fruit loops and gold fish. They also like tomatoes and fresh fruit sometimes, but sometimes they just want comfort foods. I fully support healthy options and funding school lunches to the point they are delicious and nutritious, but you gotta meet some of these kids where they are, not where you want them to be.
you gotta meet some of these kids where they are, not where you want them to be.
The government uses its funding to buy these meals. So, I do not think that the government should be adding revenue to some of the worst players in the food industry.
If the kids want to go get junk food using their parents’ money and bring it into school, they can do that.
i get your line of thought, but i think schools and public infra in general should promote public well being over potentially making them slightly happier. As i see, it is similar to schools having mandatory sports for all, which promotes health. many students want to be lazy, but it does not harm them in general to do exercise
Another point to add is that the definition of upf is extremely broad and vague. And there isn’t much evidence that this whole category is harmful because of how broad it is. But hey, maybe it will still result in healthier meals overall nevertheless.
No more Poptarts and Sunny D. Hell yeah
California is the definition of a broken clock.
Yeah, how dare we feed our school kids for free, and ensure those tax dollars are going towards healthy food!
