If the activity is supported by the public, parents and all defined criteria are met the activity has earned the right to be supported. Again, the Holmen school district is thrifty and only supports activities that can be funded from the current activities budget or funded by parent fund raising projects. Of course the current budget constraints make support of the activities more and more difficult. We should always offer the opportunity for these activities to support themselves. I don't think that complete removal of soft drinks and other non-nutritional foods is necessary.
Education is the key to good nutrition.
I doubt if you can force anyone to a balanced diet. We need to continue to offer nutritional, inexpensive meals to the kids. We are lucky to have one of the best food service organizations in the area and they work very hard to appeal to the student population. Again, if the public was informed of the proposal and all the options then supported the USDA position, I would support it as well. Kate Kresen Age, 31.
