We Are Hungry

Since the first day of school, conversation with adults and students has centered on the new lunch policy that basically limits the amount of food for EVERY kid. They are limited to the number of calories that are needed for obese children to lose weight.

Through looking at calorie intake needs for ACTIVE students, I have basically concluded the same thing as several sites I looked at. The drastic cut in calories can actually cause our students to have problems with growth and overall health.

So, since we have very few kids that are overweight (and a majority of students that participate in after school sports), this logic seems a bit on the flawed side. Through many conversations this idea was born. This is what I've been up to lately. Check it out and see what you think. Hope you enjoy!
