"I wanted to make everyone aware of a lunch menu change for Wed. Feb. 13. Due to the early dismissal, we will be offering Corn Dog Nuggets in place of the Pigs in a Blanket. We apologize for the change, and any inconvenience it may cause.
thank you

This hurts me. I have been to have lunch many times with dear Jenna and the majority of the kids I watch are buying lunch. And these are the choices! Most times I have to ask the kids what they are eating because I can't recognize it as anything. A lot of the time they don't even know what it is themselves.
For shame! Is this really the best we think our kids deserve? This is the best we can do for them? I don't even know what Corn Dog Nuggets are but assuming they're like regular Corn Dogs, they're switching out one highly processed pile of sludge for another. Why are we ok with this? Then we expect them to march back to class and learn.
As a firm believer in "you are what you eat" these poor kids don't stand a chance.
Why is this ok? I don't understand! And I know I'm as bad as the rest of them. I don't let them buy lunch and educate them about why we prefer "home food", but I don't go to the school and raise a stink either.
I need to figure out a way to change this so it's not ok. So that our kids grow up knowing that eating healthy food is cool! It's yummy too!
I would be really, truly embarrassed to have my name attached to the title of "nutrition manager" and be offering this sludge as food. Where exactly is the nutrition in this?
Just thinking about this makes my tummy hurt :-(
