Okay sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but that author went on and on and on and on and I was working so I didn't have the time to read it in its entirety until now.
First of all the author seems extremely bias. I write blogs and articles for a living and I can see that less than three paragraphs in and I'm how any reader can not recognize that.
Second of all the author controdicts themselves. First they say that according to some document that isn't shown or referenced anywhere except vaguely to the government site says they were way over budget but ABC covered the costs and then they say that the school was saddled with unmanageable expenses. If ABC was covering the costs then the school would not be having that problem. If you look at the school menu you will see that a lot of his changes have actually stuck although they have made a few days for some of the more high calorie favorites like mac and cheese and pizza.
Jamie is already trying to begin to tackle the fast food issue so I guess the author should be happy about that although I doubt he will make much difference on the national level.
The comment about him showing the people how much they eat another pointless point since they have been doing that on british television for awhile in fact one of my favorite BBC programs You Are What You Eat has used it effectively for years. People need to be shocked into making changes their health is far more important then their feelings.
The School's aren't doing that bad thing obviously false so not even going to comment.
Yes schools should get more funding for lunches...
Liability excuses....
If kids don't want to drink their milk who cares give them regular milk or they can drink water. Sooner or later they will stop acting spoiled and drink their milk.
The governments standards in regards to foods are appauling so I'm not going to go off of that. They consider ketchup a vegetable for petesake.
Finally, the author admits at the end that they have no idea how many kids actually dropped out of the program, that he did have a positive affect on the school, and basically shouted outraged that he was getting all of the attention.
In short: Bias other who thinks he could of done better.
