1) Avacados
The Power: Oleic acid, an unsaturated fat that helps lower overall cholesterol and raise levels of HDL, plus a good dose of fiber!. One slice has 81 calories, 8 grams of fat and 3 grams of fiber!. Try a few slices instead of mayonnaise to dress up your next burger!.

If it's not appetizing, they're not going to eat it!. Appetizing, healthy and affordable is not easy!. Plus, preparing for 1,000 or so students in just 4 hours!. If we could just get the battered and fried meats and vegies out, it would be healthier!. They need more herbs and spices to enhance the flavor and less grease!. Roast chicken can be easily prepared, so can chili and roast beef!. But that's just three and they need at least a 10 day rotation!. It's not an easy task!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Chef salad, yogurt, pretzels!. 3 things my 9 yo loves! They took the chef salad away cuz not enough of the grade school kids ate it!. They also had cut veggies with ranch dressing and took that off too cuz no child except mine (apparently) would eat it!. And they never had yogurt!. I told her from the get-go it was a dessert!. Now she loves it!. And broccoli, spinach, and a lot of other veggies!.
They only have to meet a certain number with calories and fat for a "meal" to be accepted in schools!. The best thing would be if you can pack your kids' lunch every day!. I work full time and hope that the school can provide a decent lunch!. There are times though that she's told me she had nachos for lunch!. Not a real meal!. And I pay for that crap!Www@FoodAQ@Com
