What's for lunch 9/24/99

Whole Wheat French Toast with Orange Rounds
Applegate Breakfast Bacon
Sweet Potato Wedges
Fresh Fruit 


  We use Nature's Own Whole Wheat Bread for the french toast . The ingredients are: STONE GROUND WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, WATER, BROWN SUGAR, YEAST, WHEAT GLUTEN, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF EACH OF THE FOLLOWING: SALT, VEGETABLE OIL (SOYBEAN OIL OR CANOLA OIL), DOUGH, CONDITIONERS (SODIUM STEAROYL LACTYLATE, CALCIUM, STEAROYL-2-LACTYLATE, MONOGLYCERIDES, CALCIUM IODATE, ETHOXYLATED MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, CALCIUM PEROXIDE, DATEM), CULTURED WHEAT FLOUR, VINEGAR, CALCIUM SULFATE, MONOCALCIUM, PHOSPHATE, YEAST FOOD (AMMONIUM SULFATE), SOY LECITHIN. Eggs and milk are used as well but they are not organic. 

The turkey bacon is by Applegate.  Here are the ingredients: Turkey (Turkey Used Never Administered Antibiotics, Growth Promotants or Animal By-products), Water, Sea Salt, Maple Sugar, Celery Juice, Onion Powder, Spices, Lactic Acid Starter Culture (not From Milk.)  They promote it as nitrate-free but this NYT article indicates otherwise - and cites the company saying their products have the same level (naturally) of cancer-causing nitrates as conventional brands.

I suspect the sweet potato wedges are frozen. Not sure if they are from McCains. I could not find ingredients for the wedges on the website. 

Alternative entrees are Pepper Jack quesadilla with chips and salsa. Peanut butter and Jelly on whole wheat bread. Meatballs on a roll with veggie sides. Still getting ingredients for these. And of course the SALAD BAR is always a good choice !!! 

We have come a long way in changing school food. But there is so much more to do. Check out www.angrymoms.org to see how this movement started.  Another favorite of mine is www.blog.betterschoolfood.org.
