here are some of the ones I like the most:
- Higher nutrition standards
- local produce
- farm field trips
- Healthier, non-food fund-raisers
I am not opposed to bake sales, girl scout cookies (although – really, this is about maintaining the money machine that it is, there are no lessons learned from this – in a general sense), and the occasional candy bar sale … but there must be other ideas that don’t have such an obvious effect on my gut.
Field trips, I don’t think, will change a kid’s eating habits, but it is good to know where food can come from.
