In my neighborhood, it’s one week until the start of school, and I’m already happily anticipating not making lunches!  Which is why I was very interested to read “The School-Lunch Test”, by Lisa Belkin, in Sunday’s NYTimes Magazine.  It speaks of a district in Florida that is trying to find out whether changing the makeup of a student’s lunch actually helps our nation’s obesity problem.  What I found interesting was the complexities inherent in a school lunch program, and how the government came to be involved in lunches in the first place.  Whether you are for or against tinkering with the system, it’s an interesting read.
