Recently, there have been many concerns raised with the quality of school lunches for kids in public schools. From junk foods and high calorie sweets to the fact that most of what is served in some schools is of very low nutritional value, it seems lower educational scores are not the only concerns we must face when we enroll our kids in public schools today.
Given the fact that childhood obesity and diabetes are dramatically increasing, more attention needs to be paid to what our kids are eating, both in school and out of school.
Fed Up with Lunch is based on one teacher’s experience eating school lunches for an entire year. When she inadvertently left her lunch behind one day, Mrs. Q discovered what our school kids are really being served in school lunches, much to her dismay. This prompted her to start a blog recounting her experiences eating those same lunches for the year.
Based on the popularity of the blog, FedUpwithLunch.com, Mrs. Q wrote a book about her experiences. In Fed Up with Lunch, Mrs. Q reveals the ugly truth behind the major nutritional problems with school lunches today. Things like chicken nuggets, French fries and other high fat, low nutrition foods should not be a part of our kids’ diets at school.
Fed Up with Lunch has received excellent reviews on Amazon, with an average rating of four stars. Reviewers appreciate the conversational tone combined with factual recounts of the reality of the school lunch program. Labeled as a “must-read”, “inspiring” and “engrossing”, this book is a great gift for parents and administrators and should be at the top of any concerned parent’s list.
