Praise for Mary Keltner article on school food Says childhood diabetes and obesity are killing more people in Kentucky than cigarettes About: Community can do better than Warmed Pop Tarts for breakfasts To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Good to have you back, Mary. We need someone to remind us that Pop Tarts are not healthy. Your article caused me to look at the school menu. It's loaded with fat. Surely we can find tasty food that's more healthy and surely we can reduce the fat content. The irony is every day reduced fat milk is "offered" with the pizza, cheese burgers, mac and cheese and sausage biscuits. I know it's a challenge giving kids something they will eat, but I just believe we could do better. Child-hood diabetes and/or obesity are probably killing more people in Kentucky that cigarettes yet we encourage our kids to eat more and more fat food. In our schools, of all places. We can and should do better. s/George Kolbenschlag Thanks and a note. The article Mary Keltner wrote was meant, not as criticism of the local school board, but as a springboard for Adair Countians to envision what could be, as is George Kolbenschlag's additional comments, above. It was an invitation to nutrition experts, garden enthusiasts, foodies, and others to strive to make the meals served in the Adair County School District the envy of the nation, to look beyond minimum requirements. After all, our band does not just meet minimum requirement, in music or in food. Maybe the idea Mary Keltner raises will get traction. Maybe not. But thank God more people are showing they care about what the kids are eating. What we'd like to see is for the schools to organize a blue panel board, including lay people, to study what could be done, the way the CJE brought groups together for the Courthouse Preservation.-EW This story was posted on 2009-08-21 10:35:07
