I am doing a debate on forced school nutrition and am against it. Just need a little help! THX...
The public schools should let the students have a choice, and their food is not nutritional, there hamburgers are boiled. That is very greasy and fatty, so don't even sit there and say that their food is healthy. I would be against it too, and for all you people that sit there and say that it is healthy, maybe you should work in a cafeteria first.

i need some ideas or something!
we had to interview two people, and i did that part.
and i have all the background information.
but it says
"you must follow one lead that was uncovered during the investigation that you didn't know existed when you started investigating"
i didn't "uncover" anything.
does anyone know of any acts or anything
that involves school nutrition?
CA does not allow any sodas sold to students until high school....that may have changed recently with Arnold and his health rules. Only healthy things are allowed to be sold, especially in elementary school and middle school. So, why does the school nutrition program get to sell cookies, chips, etc to all students? That also means that all bake sales and such are "illegal" because it is competition with the food program. When is it okay to look the other way because of the need to make money? Could it be because the school lunch program is part of the school, but is not any part of the budget? They have to make their own money?
Why are the rules of where the food is eaten so strict? Because of federal laws which are legislating WHO eats the food....the student eats his/her lunch and it doesn't go home to be shared with siblings or Mom sits and eats it. The federal legislation is pretty strict.
How does your school use US gov. commodities and how do they work in the success of the program....helping the program make money to be sustainable? Cheese, flour....two commodities that are used to make wholesome, nutritious foods that kids will eat, so what are these foods?
Are US labor costs so high that using the centralized kitchen model that produces food each school just pops into a warming oven more cost effective than making that wholesome, nutritious that kids would actually enjoy eating? Soups and "homemade" food was what we grew up with, and for the past few decades we have been feeding them "convenience" foods, purchased frozen and warmed up. The food is sad, and we wonder why kids buy the chips and cookies!
Hope this helps....I have worked in the kitchens and have had kids who would sometimes eat the lunches.... good luck.

I'm looking for a school that has a good nutrition program, shorter the better. Can anyone tell me of a school where most graduates end up working in the nutrition field? Thanks very much.
I have a friend who took a one-year nutrition program at the Canadian School for Natural Nutrition. She really liked it and after one year is a certified nutritionist. Check out the website at http://www.csnn.ca/ She really liked the school and the course and only had good things to say about it.
I want to become a dietician, so I am majoring in nutrition. Is Auburn University a good school?
Excellent. Then you go on to do an internship somewhere like Emory in Atlanta. I know a student that did that. You will be fine. I am a school teacher so I hear these things.
I'm planning to pursue nutrition and dietetic as my degree and would love to know which school is better. King's college, London or University of California, berkeley. In UC berkeley. it offers dietetic only whereas king's college offers nutrition and dietetics. I really appreciate your opinions. Feel free to tell me other reputable nutrition & dietetics school in US or UK. thanks

New Proposed School Nutrition Standards – Great Idea, But Will ...
The idea of nutrition from a school lunch counter is one of those things so mired in controversy that I’m certain there will be a huge debate on this proposal for changes in school lunches, which will take it into the next election cycle.
It is the problem that has not been addressed in my lifetime, and from speaking to my elders, must have been a problem for decades before that.
The problems are manifold, beginning with the children who are being served – many are not going to eat what is put before them, so what will be gained? The idea of a well-balanced, nutritionally dense, but calorically light meal served in a school cafeteria is one that could fuel jokes from a passel of comedians, who could run with it for months.
As a child that attended many schools because of being part of an Army family, I can say that the (unwritten) book on school lunches was certainly not anything that anyone from Fairbanks, Alaska to Grafton, Illinois, to Fletcher, Oklahoma, to Riverside, California put much thought into.
