Blogging anonymously at fedupwithschoollunch.blogspot.com, the instructor has already suffered some bellyaches for his effort. She began to eat - and document this January with her cell phone - less appetizing meals at school and quickly began to win thousands of readers per day.
The teacher, which refers to itself, as Ms. Q, said AOL health that same aircraft meals taste better than those of the cafeteria of the school and she eat to prove a point. School children come from low socio-economic brackets, and considers that 98 per cent of them eat hot lunches, especially for free or at little cost. Meals, she said in an e-mail, "are too processed and contain very few"real"food," such as fresh fruit.
"I am not a nutritionist." That being said, I became concerned that ate children because on the surface, food does not appear to be very healthy.
"These are children who need good nutrition", she added. "My students have models of good food in the House." These children are dependent on the school for many, including good nutrition. And if they get, they develop bad habits and increase our costs of health care in the future. ?
Nearly 1 in 3 children us is overweight or are obese. In February, first lady Michelle Obama unveiled its's Let's Move! partnership between schools, parents, business and the non-profit organizations to combat the growing epidemic of childhood obesity.

The epidemic of obesity is responsible for the increase in the number of children with diabetes type 2, a disease historically given mainly in adults.
First Lady Michelle Obama has recently taken on the issue of school meals in its new campaign turn to combat childhood obesity. Some 31 million children get lunches at school, and 11 million federal government funded eat breakfast under the administration of the Obama. With many young people get about half of their daily calories at school, a goal of the campaign is to reduce the amount of sugar, salt and fat in school meals and to grow vegetables, fruits and whole grains. The proposed Child Nutrition Act, the Federal Government would allocate 1 billion more a year for ten years to help schools improve the nutrition of meals. The program fees currently about 15 billion dollars annually, according to the PTA.
Ms. q has said that it is not affiliated with's Let's Move campaign and was to keep his secret identity of fear for his work.
"I am concerned about any possible reaction exposing school lunches might have for me personally and professionally," she said AOL health, after agreeing to answer questions anonymously. "I want to continue to work and I want to get anyone in trouble."
Ms. q has complaints that short window at her school children have to eat. It considers that they have 13 minutes in five copies, at worst (after taking into account pending online, find a seat and bathroom).
It is also worried about the safety of food - especially after a graham cracker sandwich non-edible peanut and jelly butter he kept in the bathroom all night.
"I'll have more stomach these days," she said. "It is not every day, but at least once a week I I just sense not very good.".
She added that she has a history of irritable colon syndrome and that it could not be certain that the bellyaches were school meals.
"I can't place," she said. "Keep in mind that I eat organic and healthy outside of work it is not as if I suffer." What is difficult for me to think in are children who depend on the school for the best (or only) meal of the day and they get hotdogs, processed meat products, cut fruit with corn syrup high fructose contentetc. "."
On his wish list: a salad bar, soups, dishes and stir fries, who said AOL health could be profitable if they are made in bulk. She said yogurt and cottage cheese could be flat sound, and it would nix tots tater in favour of roasted potatoes. It would also eliminate hot dogs, packaged and foam polystyrene food. On the side, she said that most of the school already bread products appear to be whole wheat.
Ms. q appears to teach in a primary school. While she describes as "pretty young" to AOL health, she said the blog small bites that students eat the range of meals from 4 to 11 years. And although she either eat - and blogs - in their interest, the project is causing anxiety.
"I feel much guilt and agitation on what I do here," she wrote on February 18. "And leave for the moment I am called to the Office I believe that it is a question of "when" not "If" they discover and it is curtains for me and then of course of the project.
"I want that they know that the project does not concern individuals in a school but a country full of children in need of food models better."
