Shaye Koszer The food we feed children.

I think that a problem we do not look at as a group is the amount of sugars that are in specific foods, or even just looking at how much sugars are in foods, epecially when it comes to children from elementary to college. The education given on foods is so limited that when it comes to things like natural sugars and added shugars many people think that they are the same things. Many of the schools lunches include starch, donuts, cupcakes, and basically anything that is high in shugar. Although the standards have changed the foods they are reciving are still unhealthy, and not neccesary for a healthy diet. The New York Times talks about the time children have to eat and of what they really will eat in that small amount of time. They say,  "Whether pressed for time or just grossed out, leave much of their meals untouched; particularly neglected are the fruits and vegetables, which they are now FORCED to put on their trays before they can exit the cafeteria line."
I understand the why specific foods are able to make it into the caffeterias. They are not expencive, and they taste good to the children who are able to eat them. However in the case that this could be a childs only lunch, for most, it should be one that has everything they need, and it should be longer them 20 minutes.
