Do You Know What Your Kids Are Eating for Lunch?

I’m very passionate about what this generation is eating. I often eat lunch with my kids, and take note of what they, and the kids around them are eating. I’ve been collecting wrappers from the “food” that they sell in the school cafeteria. I’ve noticed that at least two thirds of the kids buying lunch have an “ice cream” treat or Fruit by the Foot, or some other purchase in addition to the regular lunch on their tray.

This wrapper is from my visit the other day. Note that they claim it is High in Vitamin C. Also, twice they tell us on the front of the wrapper that it is Artificially Flavored.

Here is the flip side…the real story of what is inside this wrapper. Yes, we see the dreaded High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and the Yellow 6, Red 40, and Yellow 5. Where is that Vitamin C coming from?

Due note that this dessert was “made with care”.
