What's for Lunch: Pasta and Meatballs

Putting aside the strawberry milk, with its 28 grams of sugar, this pasta dish looked appetizing, even knowing that the meatballs were made from government commodity beef and shipped already cooked and frozen. In fact, these are probably the very same meatballs that were served this week as a sandwich.

Kid love pasta. And the carrots, presented raw, are probably more likely to be eaten than the cooked variety that kids would rather avoid.

But as Jamie Oliver might observe: pasta and bread? That's government standards for you.
