Anyone want my fries?

Pizza, hamburger and chicken nuggets were on the menu when the Casey Journalism Center on Children and Families served 31 journalists school lunches one day last week to make a point about childhood obesity.

While we ate our lunches (and grumbled about the food), we heard from Joan Carter, an instructor at Baylor College of Medicine’s Department of Pediatrics. A registered dietitian and a trained chef, she devised low-fat versions of typical school lunches. She eliminated 20 grams of fat from the chicken nugget meal while also adding vitamin A, calcium, iron and fiber.

I can report some food swapping among the journalists. Just like in the school cafeteria.
