You know how I learned to like whole grain bread and skim milk?  Bt being exposed to them and trying them.


Are we really arguing about if our kids should get healthy food at school?

perhaps we're just arguing about feeding them:

"This announcement is the result of years of feedback from students, schools, and food service experts about the challenges they are facing in meeting the final regulations for school meals," Perdue said in a statement during a visit to Catoctin Elementary School in Leesburg, Va. "If kids aren't eating the food, and it's ending up in the trash, they aren't getting any nutrition – thus undermining the intent of the program."
