Let's do lunch

School lunches. I just read that Finland has the best school lunches in the world and also the smartest students. Think there might be a connection? It seems to me that some of our educational dollars could be redirected to something that might work. Maybe good meals might mean one less school counselor. Or maybe even one less security guard. Let's take a survey at our schools .... how about starting by asking the "low achievers" to keep a food diary. How about teaching nutrition TO THE PARENTS! Go to work next week and see how long you last and how productive you are after having a bowl of sweetened cereal for breakfast.
