Nonsense posted:I had a anatomy prof who claimed potatoes, peas, carrots, fruits is not good beyond small portions. Is that claim sorta what you mean here? The claim is they bear no special healthy qualities. Accretionist posted:You are a retarded person. Also, "instead of having variety in foods?" Making up things up to throw around is just lazy, too. Said the person saying kids should just have potatoes, beans, rice and loving cabbage. You're ridiculous. Samurai Sanders posted:Add me to the list of people who doesn't even know what good and healthy food means anymore from reading this discussion.  It means nothing other than "thing I like and want other people to like", that's why people are randomly declaring pizza to be inherently bad.

Samurai Sanders posted:Actually, I do remember helping out in the cafeteria a few times in elementary school, with the rest of my class. I don't know why though. Also in schools in Japan IIRC, students clean the cafeteria and classrooms (although they are also assigned to a classroom with floating teachers rather than our system of floating students). I wouldn't try to mimic the Japanese education system entirely but having students serve the food and clean up after each other sounds like a great idea.

Am I too late for school lunch chat? Because lemme tell you about Macho Nachos... they were pretty gross. Also I'll occasionally get a cheeseburger at AM/PM because they taste exactly like the cheeseburgers they had in our school lunches growing up.

The US military is hilariously, comically, disturbingly religious. I can't find the study, but I remember reading somewhere that some huge portion of military personnel, especially officers, identify as evangelical Christians. In fact it's so bad, that there's an actual organization dedicated to fighting the imposition of religion in the military: http://mrff.org/

Seasoning, the centerpiece of human culinary art and culture since before the invention of writing, is a recently-concocted plot by Michelle Obama to cover up the deep dark secret that potatoes don't taste like all that much. You heard it here first in USPol April. What are you hiding under that cumin, Michelle, is it...COMMUNISM?

I don't think cabbage and potatoes were suggested because they were magical superfood, I think they were suggested because they were dirt cheap and probably better for you than, um, "macho nachos." That said I'd be mad as hell if someone had fed me on literal Irish peasant food five days a week when I was in school. There's probably a happy medium in there somewhere, though. (GWS chat: if you think broccoli can always sub in for cabbage just because they're both brassica you're insane. The basic idea is the same--hit them with super intense heat to develop sweet, nutty flavor,--but cabbage is a lot denser than broccoli and thus takes better to grilling than roasting. You can get amazing charred surface/crunchy inside contrasts on cabbage that are very difficult to achieve on broccoli, and cabbage will take light dressings better, too. If you've written cabbage off because you're used to godawful institutional versions of the dish, try grilling or broiling half-head wedges and tossing with just olive oil, salt, and pepper. So good.)

You can also do this with romaine and serve as a salad with thin sliced grilled steak/chicken. Grilling is like deep frying but for people with all their teeth, it's worth trying with almost every food.

I think what fishmech is getting at is that beans, potatoes, cabbage and rice can be prepared healthily, but are often not. Like is french fries and cole slaw a healthy meal? Maybe with a protein of refried beans? Because those are some of the most common uses for those foods in schools, that also happen to be popular with children. I'm well aware there are somewhat healthier uses for a lot of these foods, but I doubt that school cafeteria workers are necessarily going to make delicious, healthy options when there are unhealthy choices that kids like and are very easy to make in bulk.

The real problem is that there are vending machines kids will go spend there money on if the food doesn't match their palette. This usually means something like five Doritos bags and a coke (not an exaggeration).

I have had several friends tell me how racist Blazing Saddles is. I love this movie but I have never gotten that idea. It skewers racists and makes them look like fools. It takes stereotypes and uses those to make the racists look like idiots. Hell, "the white Christian townspeople and cowboys look like fools" is as racist as it gets.

I remember a teacher railing to me because "the white people always look like idiots." What they were seeing was white people engaged in normal sitcom hijinks, but the black people were their equals and not employed as a zip coon foil to exclaim "OH LAWD" and jump over a picket fence like Amos n Andy.

None of my schools ever had vending machines in them until the last year of high school... but that was the school cafeteria was replaced by a fast food plaza containing macdonalds and taco bell, so I am pretty sure that was the year they were conquered. (They did still make food for the poors who couldn't afford to buy from the fast food stalls but the quality plummeted and the assumption was most kids would get burgers and tacos plus sodas from the new vending machines) Basically my point is that if the school has food vending machines the battle has probably already been lost

Whether that is because the budgets are too low or poorly spent on top heavy administration I leave up for you. And private schools weren't exactly much better. I have nightmares about that turkey tetrazzini.
