I'd be SHOCKED if any child actually ate it.<br /><br />I'm surprised that you are okay with the ingredients for the lasagna, too. I thought you'd be miffed that it is frozen spinach and not fresh spinach from local farmers. And canned tomato sauce -- why can't they being making sauce from fresh tomatoes? And why are the lasagna noddles regular white pasta and not whole wheat?<br /><br />And while it might be romaine lettuce, could they have drowned it anymore in ranch dressing? What about the kids havign the opportunity to savor vegetable flavors and textures without a gallon of dressing on it?<br /><br />DC is going to save SO MUCH money on food costs because they'll be make a lot fewer lunches since the kids will be refusing to buy hot lunch any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041351940135831902.post-72411845236165317452010-09-02T10:21:34.189-04:002010-09-02T10:21:34.189-04:00I've been really impressed with the changes th...I've been really impressed with the changes this year. It's not perfect (yet), but it's a huge change from last year. Our school staff is preparing a lot of the foods from scratch, and there are more fresh fruit and vegetables available than I've seen before. What a nice thing to see in our schools!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804454354952961393noreply@blogger.com
