In regards to school food, most schools now offer healthy options in addition to junk food. My mom is a lunch lady. She says that few kids choose the healthy options when there is pizza or junk food available. It's not that the options aren't there, the kids simply don't want them.
Healthy eating has to carry over at home. If kids are eating trash at home, they'll go for trash when left to make their own choices. At my mom's school, parents can get a list of what their kids buy at lunch because they use a debit card system. If you see that Lil' Cody is only eating pizza and cookies, perhaps Cody should lose his lunch card in favor of bagged lunches.
I'm really irritated with the current wave of junk food bashing. You can eat junk food, you just have to eat in moderation. The chips aren't to blame when you sit down and eat the whole bag. Your lack of control is.
