mpaynknoper: @foodchat Good info on school lunch. Wonder how many know these & WIC comprise substantial part of USDA expenditures. #foodchat
-
tbtamartin: @mpaynknoper Sodium and sugar would not be as big of concern if they have enough physical activity young ones need to burn off #foodchat
-
whitwallace: About ~50% qualify for free-and-reduced lunch program. Majority of students eating school lunch, rather than packing their own. #foodchat

tbtamartin: @mpaynknoper Wine IS in glass..just chug a lug :0 #foodchat
-
cowartandmore: Q4 I worry about my kids eating what is served. (They're not in school yet.) Is there a "food monitor" to make sure they eat??? #foodchat
-
Indianawinebabe: As a mom to new kindergardener, do u think the money is worth the meal? Do we think the only things kids eat are pizza & corndogs? #foodchat
-
-
foodchat: @tbtamartin Great idea to change it up for #school #lunches with some creative thinking! #foodchat
-
cowartandmore: @wagfarms That's funny! I hadn't thought of that. #foodchat
-
wagfarms: @cowartandmore In our school, the kids have to be "dismissed" by the teacher, who is responsible to see they "try" each item. #foodchat
-
mpaynknoper: @cowartandmore Am afraid you lose the #food monitoring after pre-school.Think the secret is teaching child why/how to eat wise... #foodchat
-
tbtamartin: @tbtamartin If you don't have the bottle..call for room service :0 #foodchat
-
TruffleMedia: Q4 #foodchat prefer to pack because school food is not so really good to eat (http://bit.ly/mNkDx (expand) example) ; sounds good on paper but ...
-
whitwallace: @cowartandmore Depending on your school, we had teacher supervision in cafeteria. They were good about watching our food habits. #foodchat
-
-
TruffleMedia: Q4 #foodchat also, our son want items not on school menu.
-
mpaynknoper: @Indianawinebabe I ask what is eaten and like to believe that we're told the truth. For example, today the school peas didn't pass #foodchat
-
mpaynknoper: @jilib Hi. Good to see you. Did we miss your intro? #foodchat
-
Indianawinebabe: We have a 3 bite rule in our house, she is expected to that at school also. After she bites she may say no thank-you to the food. #foodchat
-
-
RayLinDairy: My mother works in a school cafteria and the amount of food that is premade the day before is astounding, how can it taste good? #agchat
-
cowartandmore: @jilib Tried your crockpot fajitas tonight. The family says thanks for the new dinner idea! #foodchat
-
cowartandmore: @mpaynknoper That's a good idea. At least know what they did or didn't eat. A place to start the convo with the peeps. #foodchat
-
-
tbtamartin: Q? In CA we have a lot of breakfast programs? Other states? #foodchat
-
CBalling: @RayLinDairy #foodchat -- not #agchat. I'm guessing your intentions.
-
foodchat: @Indianawinebabe Just what size are those bites? #foodchat http://twubs.com/foodchat
-
mpaynknoper: @jilib Cool, appreciate the perspective. So, does SHE like the food the school serves? And, do you have a name, location? #foodchat
