As usual I have food on the mind. I could spin a yarn about Meat every meal while racing in Costa Rica. Meat drenched in red sauce or white sauce or fried to a crisp. But I will spare you the gory details. Let's just say I did not eat meat for over a week once I returned.
The War Path I am blazing today is against my students and coworkers! OVer the past few days, I went on covert missions around campus with my trusty iPhone snapping pics of the HORRID things I found...
The kids actually see me coming at lunch time and hide their food because they KNOW they are out of line!! Naughty!!!
Plate of cookies given to students for turning some paperwork in on time. LAME.
Morning romantic snack had between a cute couple. Shared bagel, chocolate milk, and possibly some Mono...
Someone "gave it to me I swear....!!!"
Front office...8:15am....breakfast. Sick...
A hot pocket on the desk top...
Spaghetti and parm and butter...and the largest portion I have seen...school lunches are interesting...
The Music Department always rewards a performance with ice cream or donuts or...
More junk in front office...
And the classic chili fries from some horrible fast food place...So these are some of the things that trouble me...I know it is not the end of the world, but when I rifle through a kids lunch pail or peak into a coworkers office at lunch, I am more often than not, stunned. Nobody eats anything that grew!! Nobody hand prepares things anymore! Most of the food comes out of cardboard boxes and probably tastes like it too!
So one of my MANY missions in life is to introduce them to tasty food that grew, was made from scratch, doesn't contain a ton of man-made fillers, and will help them live longer! But this task is SOOO daunting...
I must say, while I don't (often) eat the stuff above, it sure as heck looks good to my "I used to eat that stuff all the time" brain!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it. Today, see if you can find anybody with a salad!
