Interesting story, par for the course.
In the interactions I've had in a public school recently (judging a debate tournament) there were mounds and mounds of trashy food around. I think it was meant to be a reward for judging the tournament.
And it was INSANE, the type of food that was available. It was mostly bags of bulk candy (the "good" kind, too, nothing cheap), and salty snacks like fancier chips (gourmet, not budget chips) and then bins of the mega muffins and croissants from Costco.
It was appalling. The only thing I would have eaten there were the mozzarella sticks.
And that's the trash what kids are surrounded by, especially for any party, after-school or club events, or anything where school admins want to "reward" the kids.
We recently had a friend visiting with an 18 year old daughter. Sweet girl but she seemed depressed and down, was really chunky, and always on her phone. She believes red meat is unhealthy, fruit and veggies are the most healthy food, drinks red bull to stay awake, and in general has very unhealthy beliefs about food. I think, unfortunately, that most kids her age are similar.
I talked a lot about carnivore (I can't shut up about how great it is), hopefully I wasn't too annoying.
