For the most part, our meals are unhealthy. I can't imagine having the option for an entire artichoke at lunch. How wonderful would that be? 

Another problem with our schools. Feed them processed chicken fingers because it is cheap. In the long run, don't the health problems caused by a poor diet cost the system more?
