She doesn't do the the most healthy ones, but it could be a way to help the kids learn an appreciation for homemade goodness. <br /><br />Have you watched the TV series Food Revolution. We don't have a TV, but watched it awhile back online.kclblogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03735600447674229841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25191821.post-33426855321350756452012-04-26T14:31:23.131-05:002012-04-26T14:31:23.131-05:00Good for you!

I was thinking (if time and teachers allow), making smoothies as a mid-morning snack with my easy hand mixer. We'll see if I can pull that off.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609255395293416061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25191821.post-15949693451278735622012-04-26T13:06:37.457-05:002012-04-26T13:06:37.457-05:00Amanda, tell me more.

Or both?<br /> <br />I've heard of behavioral issues being drastically reduced in schools that offered good, balanced meals; I believe this was in England somewhere.<br /><br />It just seems like common sense to me.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090954944438450837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25191821.post-36314436280506589872012-04-26T12:27:12.091-05:002012-04-26T12:27:12.091-05:00That is a great goal!

I heard once about a lunch program in Appleton (I think) where they completely overhauled the whole thing, and as a result, their behavioral problems basically disappeared.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865039944343813603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25191821.post-91876441905488235282012-04-26T12:21:19.513-05:002012-04-26T12:21:19.513-05:00What an awesome idea!

Some of the schools here have it now and it seems to be needed.Cathy G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11322035150239590436noreply@blogger.com
