What is a real laffer is that the soda machines are locked up at lunch time. Kids get a soda before lunch time and drink it at lunch. And a lot of them go off campus for a big mac, fries and a large coke.
Do you have evidence to back up that statement? Where this has been studied -- the evidence says othewise.
Typically, while school dietitians want children to eat healthier food, they are convinced such efforts will be futile, and if students cannot get their fast food in the cafeteria they will buy it off campus. This does not appear to have been a problem in Appleton, where the food is not only natural, it is prepared with care; Natural Ovens made sure of this by hiring and training the cooks for the school.
This does not appear to have been a problem in Appleton, I suggest that anecdotal evidence from ONE school does not convince me it is otherwise.
I wiil present my evidence from a personal observation. Many schools only allow Seniors to go off campus, and I have seen them go through the drive thru and pick up 5 or 6 orders for themselves and other students that are waiting for their burger and fries back at school.
Huh? You're trailing HS children from their HS to wherever it is they go at lunch then follow them back to their HS? Yikes! Has your local police department been notified or is your stalking under the radar?
Is this your personal Reaganesque version of the "I knew a guy..." story.
The reporter only named one school but-----but didn't name any studies to refute what s/he said was happening with school lunches in Appleton, WI. Now we have to decide, do we believe the reporter or an admitted HS student stalker who thinks his/her personal story holds any water.
