Did you read the article? What if most of what a kid is eating isn't what their parents are eating?
So these kids are eating two meals a day that aren't directly provided by their parent. Sounds like most of their meals aren't what their parents are eating.
Also, if they are in extreme hardship, they may not even get to eat dinner with their parents.
Nah, talking about what kids eat compared to what their parents eat.
But your argument is that they are obese because they eat what their parents eat, right? So if 2/3rds of their meals aren’t from those unhealthy parents, wouldn’t the kids be healthier?
So this is a good thing then?
If kids are getting fed at school, that means the family can afford better stuff. Even if they keep buying garbage, the kids will be exposed to the idea of healthy eating.
How can they eat the same thing twice
