BrasscheckTV: The great school lunch scam‏

Who determines what American kids 
eat each day?
 
To a large degree, it is the Federal 
Government. Congress and the 
Department of Agriculture approve 
what foods can (and can't) be served 
to over 30 million American school 
children who get daily meals from 
the National School Lunch Program. 
 
The government gets a ton of 
pressure from a food and beverage 
industry frantic to keep kids hooked 
on a diet of sodas, snacks and hot 
dogs.

 The school lunch scam

Corporate pigs at the trough

 

 Creating a culture of disease
Who determines what U.S. children eat every day during the school year? Every five years Congress reapproves the school lunch program. In 2009, the program was renewed once again, and the Congress screwed over the people. A third of kids are either overweight or obese. This is the story of how the food and beverage industry got Congress to cave to pressure to keep the snacks, soft drinks and processed meats in the schools.
