Among the many challenges of parenthood is trying to get your kids to eat healthy food. As the children get older, the school lunchroom becomes one of battlefields, with some kind of weekly menu posted online or sent home with the kids. Many of these menus appear to imply that the three essential food groups are sodium, fat and sugar. However, some schools employ a little more imagination both in providing healthy choices and evoking some interest in the fare to come. This week the lunchrooms in our own local schools will feature “Rocking Roll Ups” on Monday, “Healthy Half Days” on Wednesday and “National Sandwich Day” on Thursday, with vegetarian options available daily. I’m not quite sure what all of that means but it does sound interesting.
