Here are a few articles on the topic:
The complaints of a tight budget are real and I believe that too points back to Congress. Why isn't produce as subsidized as other agriculture so that it's just as easy to purchase as dairy products, for example?
I'm not vilifying pizza; I love it! I had to cut back earlier this year as my waist line grew. And now that I practice a whole raw food plant-based diet, I've found some tasty and healthier alternatives. Not all pizza is created equal but I don't think we'll see the whole wheat veggie laden variety in schools.
I certainly believe in free choice with personal eating habits as long as there is actually a choice.
What are your thoughts?

I'm not sure of the solution, but the foods I see in my step-daughters cafeterias seem to be doing nothing but setting them on a path to pretty unhealthy eating as adults :(
Weren't we talking bout subsidizing produce back in school?
Yeah, kinda like potatoes and corn are veges. Or so many of my clients think. I recall talkin about subsidizing produce back in school. We do have a farmer's market in LV that accepts wic ebt card which is awesome, but not sure if people know that.

That's great that there's a farmer's market that accepts the wic ebt card! There are a lot of grassroots movements to increase access to fruits and veggies. I need to get involved!
