I came across this great article about how hard it is to change children’s eating habits.

It talks about changes in several Florida schools to try to make the school lunch program healthier. There are struggles with prices, government foodstuffs, and just getting the kids to eat new things. It’s rather long, but worthwhile reading.

When it comes to diet, whether for children or adults, the basics apply: lean protein, vegetables and fruits, whole grains. No junk food, sugar, white flour, soda, or high fat anything. With the obesity problem we have, in both children and adults, we can’t afford to do anything else but keep trying to change people’s diets.
