I remember in grade school when milk was nickle. I am lactose intolerant so I never had to carry nickles... lol.  My Mom always packed our lunches. I too remember lots of bologna and Pb&J. And Dolly Madison's ... do you all remember those?
Then my Mom started working and I had to have the Hot lunch - PUKE. Was so gross. All my life I was little and a tomboy and " our family had huge issues" and we Kids turned to food and we my brother and I gained a too much weight. Stress Eating. And I recall no matter if I had a glass of water I was made fun of at lunch time ..for being a Fat kid. It was Hell. I hated lunch time. It was so awful the teasing and taunting. So One day I thought to myself - Screw All of you. And I started paying attention to what was going into my mouth and started exercising. I was short so everything showed.  I lost all my extra weight ..all of it within a year. All the kids who teased the living hell out of me ..came around and wanted to be my friend.  I simply ignored them.  I never ever became friends with any of them. I had my own friends through my Normal weight/Pudge zone/and normal again.  I was never lonely that is for sure. But the fact that kids are so damn rotten to kids that are bigger than ave is heartbreaking.

I hope that someone steps in and really takes a look at our Schools and their Lunch programs. Even today,  most of what they serve is slop and filled with starch/calories and is not healthy.
Many of the state prisons and public schools use the same food ... its all bout contracts.

Bec many parents use the reduced lunch program and their kids eat what is provided for them in public school as their Main meal for the day ..and that is SAD.

On the August 3, 2009, Fox News Special Report with Bret Baer, a Scared Monkeys post was quoted in the Grapevine Section:

“The left just can’t seem to get over Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome… They can’t even seem to leave her family alone now that she is a private citizen.”

HEALTH AND NUTRITION
Miami girl a poster child for healthier lunches
An advocacy group hoping to boost consumption of fruits and veggies found a Miami girl to push its cause.

lclark@MiamiHerald.com

At age 8, Jasmine Messiah is an enthusiastic vegetarian, toting salads and fruit to school every day because she finds the alternative in the school cafeteria ``not healthy.''

The Miami girl has tried to introduce her friends to the benefits of eating a healthful diet -- and now she's the real-life poster child of a campaign aimed at persuading Congress to require schools across the country to offer students more fruits and vegetables.

Posters bearing the girl's beaming face go up this week at the Union Station Amtrak and commuter rail station near the Capitol in Washington, D.C., as part of the campaign by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

The group spent $20,000 on the 15 posters. They'll stay up for a month as part of an effort to influence Congress as it reauthorizes the Child Nutrition Act.

``President Obama's daughters get healthy school lunches,'' the poster states, referring to Sasha and Malia, who attend the Washington-area, private Sidwell Friends School, which offers vegetarian alternatives. ``Why don't I?''

Jasmine also has written letters to the first daughters, Florida's two senators and Rep. Kendrick Meek, a Miami Democrat.

``A lot of schools, including mine, don't offer enough healthy fruits, vegetables and vegetarian meals,'' she wrote to the Obama girls.

Penny Parham, administrative director of food and nutrition for Miami-Dade schools, said the school system has sought to boost nutrition and offers fruits and vegetables -- including green beans and corn from a nearby farm. But she acknowledged that federal guidelines can make it tough to provide nondairy, vegan meals like those promoted by the committee.

``We know we can't be all things to all people but we certainly do try,'' Parham said. ``We try to present the best choices for kids, but there's always room for improvement.''

The pro-vegan, anti-animal testing group is hoping lawmakers will put more emphasis on fruits and vegetables when it begins re-authorizing the nutrition act and the National School Lunch Program.

The group argues that school lunches are weighted too heavily toward beef and cheese, resulting in record childhood obesity rates.

The $8 billion school lunch program is likely to be heavily lobbied by the food industry, including the dairy and meat industry, which has accused the physicians' group of looking to ``create a vegan society.''

Fruits and vegetables, though, have a friend in first lady Michelle Obama, who, when harvesting the White House garden, noted the reauthorization of the act presents an opportunity to ``improve the quality and nutrition of the food served in schools.''

Jasmine, who will start third grade later this month at Ada Merritt K-8 Center, 660 SW Third St. in Miami, came to the attention of the group when she accompanied her mother, Sarah Messiah, to Washington earlier this year. Sarah Messiah, a perinatal and pediatric epidemiologist at the University of Miami, had been asked to shareher research on the healthconsequences of childhood obesity.

She brought Jasmine, an aspiring marine biologist, who at one point during the briefing was asked if she had anything to add.

``She took the mike and just went with it,'' said her mom, who has raised her three children as vegetarians. ``They wanted a candid response from a child about what it's like living with a school lunch program, and she gave them her story. She gets why eating healthy is important.''

For her part, Jasmine -- who counts as her favorite foods grapes, apples, oranges and Caesar salad -- said she hopes the experience will lead more children to eat their vegetables.

``Sometimes I bring in broccoli and carrots and my friends are like, `Ewww, this is disgusting,' '' she said. ``But I think if they tried it more, they'd like it.''

Here is a case of such terrible, terrible police investigation and reporting I can hardly even comprehend it.

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=5855.msg900132#msg900132

This is a case of a little 10 year old girl and the investigator made the decision she was electrocuted and it was an accident even before the autopsy was complete, and despite the fact she had a CUT THROAT and she had recent vaginal penetration etc. etc. OMG!!
