I didn't get it Odie. What do you mean?
Anyway, the USDA guidelines are available on the internet to everyone. Dietician or not, there's no excuse.
The problem seems to be
1- cutting corners to save money- fresh fruit/veggies/meat are more expensive and perishable (more care and potential waste)
2- using food as punishment
3- hungry kids = docile kids
Any program found to be out of compliane with the USDA guildlines should be closed immediately. No questions asked.
