Saw the movie Super Size Me last night. Of course it raises the same issues about food,nutrition, and schools that Fast Food Nation does.

I don't think it's coincidental that schools offer "fast food" in their food courts... uh cafeterias. It's cheaper and very popular which makes it the perfect choice for cash strapped districts.

However, in his great book Teaching With the Brain in Mind, Eric Jensen states that most school programs focus on muscle and bone growth not brain development. My guess is that most school programs now just focus on getting food (is that the right word?) out at a designated time. Nutrition has nothing to do with school lunch programs.
