School lunch in Japan. The way forward for the US too.
Having been president of the Elementary School PTA (actually a pretty respected position here) and served for 3 years on the school lunch committee, I want to show you this video.
It shows how school lunch is handled in Japan. Not only do the kids get good, actual balanced nutritional food, they learn how to serve others, take responsibility, have manner, eat in a balanced way without waste, etc.
School lunch here is not just free time where the kids are unsupervised. The teacher eats exactly the same meal and with the kids in the classroom.
Please watch and encourage your own school systems to re-evaluate how lunch and food in general is presented to US kids. I believe the failure to do so is part of the reason the obesity epidemic is increasing (along with a similar hands off approach to sports and physical education).
