What's for lunch 6/4/13


BRUNCH FOR LUNCH
Cinnamon Challah French Toast
Warm, Smoked Ham Slices
Fresh, Herb-Potato 
Wedges Fresh Fruit 

I'm really curious as to why we stopped serving whole wheat french toast to go back to the meal declared to be "cake" for lunch by our committee's nutritionist - basically white flour bread.  The syrup is basically HFCS.  They are looking for an affordable maple syrup but do not have one yet - but they will be limiting the serving size this year in the meantime.  Actual lunch from our schools above. This meal has a lot of sugar, simple carbohydrates -- no whole grains.

Then there are the commodity potatoes processed by McCain's into wedges-- although they are labeled "frozen pre-formed potato rounds."  They are flash-fried before they get to the frozen part.  They have 7g of fat (one of which is saturated) and 190mg of sodium. Ingredients are: potatoes, vegetable oil (contains one or more of the following oils: canola, soybean, cottonseed, sunflower, corn). Contains 2% or less of dextrose, salt, sodium acid pyrophosphate added to maintain natural color. 

Do not like this lunch at all. Last time being served this year. Go straight to the salad bar.
