I think it's simpler than that - I think a lot of people don't understand that if they don't evacuate they might DIE.View Thread






How do I express gratitude? By saying"thank you" and meaning it. Any time someone does anything for me, no matter how insignificant it may seem, I say thank you. I like people to know that I appreciate them and what they do.View Thread

In that case, why not subcontract to a central kitchen for all the local schools who CAN? Or perhaps use an outside caterer?View Thread


I'm appalled at what they're giving children to eat and drink. Waffles? Muffins? Chocolate milk? Get rid of the chocolate milk and devise balanced meals for children. And forget about the calorie limitation - children don't need that if they're eating a healthy meal. A muffin and a glass of milk must come pretty close to the limit anyway. No wonder the kids are starving. How do they manage to stay awake in the afternoon?
The meals at our school are designed to include:
I animal protein
1 raw veg
1 cooked veg
1 carb
1 dairy
1 fruit
Sometimes the groups are combined (dairy fruit = fruit yoghurt), sometimes they are balanced out over the week. There are never any processed foods. Produce is bought locally (loses fewer vitamins and costs less in transport). The menus are drawn up by the staff with the aid of a nutritionist.
If a parent chooses to give their child chocolate milk or whatever they can do it after school.View Thread
