Michelle Obama\u2019s\u00a0Let\u2019s Move<\/a>\u00a0program to fight childhood obesity wound up in my son\u2019s backpack this week. I was pleasantly surprised to see a\u00a0Time for Kids<\/em>\u00a0mini-magazine with an article on the five worst school lunches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The best part is that my son wanted to share this with us. He had us guess the answers (we came up with two of the five) and then let us know what they were.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The food items were broken down into calories, fat grams, and sodium levels. A third grader is absorbing and incorporating all this information. How cool is that?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here\u2019s the list (counting down to the worst):<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5.\u00a0Pepperoni Pizza<\/em>, 342 calories, 14.4 grams of fat, 799 milligrams of sodium
4.\u00a0Cheese Sandwich<\/em>, 320 calories, 14.2 grams of fat, 1000 milligrams of sodium
3.\u00a0Cheeseburger<\/em>, 401 calories, 19 grams of fat, 745 milligrams of sodium
2.\u00a0Meatloaf and Potatoes<\/em>, 472 calories, 26.4 grams of fat, 1180 milligrams of sodium
1.\u00a0Beef and Cheese Nachos<\/em>, 469 calories, 24 grams of fat, 1500 milligrams of sodium<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I was a little appalled that a bar appetizer was number one; not exactly what I want the future of America to be noshing on regularly. \u00a0My family actually doesn\u2019t participate in the local school lunch program because my son has allergies. \u00a0He\u2019s been brown bagging it since day one. \u00a0He literally has never had the food, and I have to say the more I learn about the school lunch program, the more relieved I am he hasn\u2019t!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Michelle Obama has a\u00a0Chefs Move to Schools<\/a>\u00a0program with over 1,000 chefs working with their local schools to develop healthier menu choices that are flavorful and kid friendly. \u00a0If you know a local chef, maybe with a kid, please let them know about this great program.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you\u2019d like to get involved in another way, consider supporting the\u00a0Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act<\/a>, currently winding it\u2019s way through Congress. \u00a0The bill calls for larger servings of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in school meals. \u00a0Write or call your elected officials to let them know you support the bill.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What do you think? \u00a0Do you monitor your kids\u2019 school lunch program? \u00a0Do you check in with them on their food choices? \u00a0What\u2019s going on in your local school system? \u00a0Do you feel the urge to help?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019d love to hear what\u2019s going on out there, please share.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Thanks,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lisa<\/p>\r\n\r\n
