Do you consider this a "healthy" lunch?

[JustDenise]

American Hoagie
Cheetos
Chocolate cake
Scooby Doo fruit snacks
milk


My kids' school does.:headbange

[PoohsPal]

Wow. NAd they complain about kids being hyper. ;)

[JustDenise]

Oh, wait... I forgot to list the vegetable soup. I guess they figure since they threw that on there, it was okay.:scary:

[PoohsPal]

Yes, but many of teh viggies in veggie soup are high arb too. (Corn, peas carrots, potatoes). Seeing a theme.

[lllovell]

ack - the only thing missing is ketchup as a veggie!

[lllovell]

Sadly - high carb = cheaper usually as well....which is where part of the issue lies. I know it is not ALL about going cheap, but schools are having to cut back across the boards. It is more expensive to eat healthier.

Sounds like a great lunch. Got all the important food groups in there, plenty of calories for healthy, active kids with metabolic rates we'll never see again.

Thanks. Now I'm hungry. Does their school offer take-out ? Can they throw in a pound of bacon for a couple bucks more ?

[carolina_yankee]

Well, my 4 food groups are chocolate, potatoes, beef, and bread - so it almost fits.

I don't remember school lunches like that, though. I guess my generation (class of '84) will torture our complaining kids with "Why, when I went to school, we could only choose between a healthy lunch or a salad bar, and milk or fruit punch. And you think you've got it bad!!" :headbange

Sigh,

I graduated in '77. Our school had two lines. One was Hoggies and ala cart desert ( nothing to fancy; cake,pudding,jelly, apple crisp ). Other side was a hot meal usually consisting of a meat/chicken/fish , starch & veggie with same desert options. Milk or a fruit punch were the drink choices.

Andrea Yates homeschooled, didn't she?

All kidding aside, I don't have the patience or skill to homeschool. It would just never happen. Kudos to those whol can!:teacher:

No!

You need ketchup for a vegetable, pudding for the 4th state of matter (colloid), and more artifical food coloring than that in Scooby Dog-doo snacks.

I would also suggest some caffiene as well, to 'sharpen' the thinking of the kids!

-Tony

Also peas for sticking up their noses, is always a hit!

And where is the Yeungling?

[AFMom]

Andrea Yates and Me!:bitemylip
That's a horrible lunch! :yuck:
They left out the caffeine! And I suppose you could count Cheetos as a diary food, right - I mean - cheese is in there..... Then you've got your bread and cereal - cake.
I'd be complaining! Or maybe eating there with them.....

ROTFLMBO convert!!!! :ROTFL:

ETA: Now nuts arae good for you. That woudl be good in a lunch. ;)

[dvcconvert]

Now nuts arae good for you.

I would yeild to Tony's professional opinion on that -- however,
nuts that are 12 feet tall and breathing in diesel fumes all day *might not* pass FDA muster!
:eek:

[KNWVIKING]

Chances are the Peanut Mobile is gas powered, not diesel. It looks to be mounted on the same type chassis as the Oscar Myer Weiner Mobile which is powered by a 5.7L Chevy V8.

On the otherhand, if you look behind the PeaMobile you'll see a large Hershey Kiss. This appears to be from the Hershey Kiss Mobile which is a diesel powered GM/Isuzu W4 chassis with the 3.9L L4 Isuzu diesel.

Now, a great lunch should include at least one Oscar Myer Mostly Meat Hotdog and a bagfull of Hershey Kisses.

[AFMom]

A healthy liunch......

Of course - you can only eat the banana if you catch him - and after that lunch - a dancing banana halucination would be normal.....

Regular or deep fried?

[DisFlan]

I prefer Ding Dongs to Twinkies. You get cake, gooey white stuff (very important) and chocolate (essential component) in one easy-to-eat, time-saving combo.

It's a gift. When it comes to getting the most useless (and sticky-tasty) calories per square centimeter, I'm the queen. And if it's dipped in chocolate, it's mine.

[chimera]

Personally, I was always a fan of those pink Snowballs. chocolate cake filled with gooey white stuff, then covered with marshmallow and artificially colored pink coconut.

Can you deep-fry a snowball or is that just wrong?

Hey, if there's a way to deep fry it, I say go for it. (I microwave Moon Pies. And Peeps. Talk about ooey gooey!)

[gopherit]

Well, at least to the average 'to heck with the carbs" person, the meal given by the OP sounds appetizing... at my kids' school, they make the effort to represent the major food groups but EWWWW... what combos they create! Can you fathom scrambled eggs and green beans? :scary: Add a nice little jug of milk and some oranges for dessert and a roll to sop it all up with... by golly, once that hits the ol' GI and the acid meets dairy, those beans and eggs will be sittin' REAL pretty.... :yuck:

I do not like green beans with egg.
I will not eat them, even if you beg....

[JustDenise]

But who would even think to eat Cheetos with chocolate cake?!:thumbsway

But here is the tell-all question?

After microwaving the poor peeps, do you bite their heads off first, or save 'em till last?

-Tony

P.S. I prefer STALE peeps myself

Heads first. And I love stale, crunchy Peeps! Easter Peeps are usually "ready" by July 4th - and even better by Labor Day.


DisFlan

[lllovell]

Peeps are fun with small children. They gum them enough to make the soggy and then you can "paint" with them!

Art and a snack...hard to beat!!!

:bugeyed:

[JustDenise]

So how did this become a PEEPS thread?:veryconfu

[lllovell]

sadly - that is where your lunch menu took us. Shame on the school!!! (someone get me some cake!:bouncingp )

[DVCerLee]

This is a great thread! I haven't laughed so much in a long time. The deepfried twinkies still make me chuckle! My family wants to know why I am laughing all by myself.:ROTFL:

You guys are funny. Funny good.

[JustDenise]

I must be the only one who thinks that Cheetos and chocolate cake is sort of like...... pickles and chocolate milk.:blech: :blech:

[lllovell]

I am not really one to comment on food choices since my craving while I was pregnant this last time was Funyuns!!! Almost every day! Poor lil PJ - but at least now that she is here, that craving has gone away....







Mostly.....

[jiggerj]

DD is in HS and she is just given some really rotton choices- They actually had (might still have it available) JOLT soda for the kids as well as coffee- Ok....lets wire the kids up some more- Oh but they do have a SMALL salad option (ummm...with radishes and beets...just what every hs kid would choose) that is 3 times the price as the french fries- :mad:
