Vance,

You seem to be a very smart person. Sooooo let's start a

You're funny. Actually, I do insist they pack lunches 3 out of 5
days. I think that it's odd that the school is always touting good
eating practices then serve up high fat, high calorie, processed,
sodiumed to the hilt food. I personally wouldn't mind if school
meal programs went away but I also know that fo...See More
