Comments on: Sidwell’s school lunches http://foodpluspolitics.com/2009/01/05/sidwells-school-lunches/ Recipes from scratch and a lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:15:43 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2009/01/05/sidwells-school-lunches/#comment-4246 ellaella Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:05:53 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.com/2009/01/05/sidwells-school-lunches/#comment-4246 <strong>Hi, Jack</strong> - I've read and written about his work with the school lunches and linked to it earlier. I know many think he's overexposed, but I really commend him for his work in this area. He could easily rest on his laurels and sit back to count his millions. That he got involved in such a big way speaks volumes to me. Thanks for the link for those who might have missed it! <strong>Hi, Nate</strong> - I hope so too, although I think the Obama kids learned that at home at a young age.

It was a brilliant piece of activism and it highlights the fact that it’s much more than just increasing the budget for school cafeterias. Children and their parents are forced to change their habits and re-learn what it means to eat a nutritional meal.

Lordy, that's some breakfast and I do see the irony. Anyone who can keep a sense of humor in the hospital is okay in my book. :) Glad you enjoyed the post. Some of the private day schools in New York have lunches that leave Sidwell in the dust. I don't know if they're training the kids' palates or preparing them for fine dining or what, but in all these cases the days of getting a whole apple and being expected to just bite into it are long gone. Oh, btw, I've been experimenting with making sausage. Stay tuned... Sausage and bacon, Muse? Lordy, that’s some breakfast and I do see the irony.

It's not just the schools. My recent surgery---after which I was advised to avoid rich foods for a bit---included an overnight hospital stay. My breakfast? Oatmeal (I ate that), orange juice, coffee, scrambled eggs, grilled pork sausage, bacon, and a small carton of whole milk (I guess for the cereal; I didn't use it). This, in a hospital, where I and a few hundred others were trying to recover from stuff! I love that you posted the lunches at Sidwell. The school is getting a lot of attention, and the Obama girls will, too. They'll need good nutrition for the lives they lead. Good for Sidwell! <em>MusEditions's last blog post..<a href='http://museditions.wordpress.com/2009/01/02/mars-does-it-matter/' rel="nofollow">Mars: Does it matter?</a></em> Wow, ella, food + politics in one post, w00t!
