Now Playing: From the Mouths of Babes
In the Minneapolis public schools, we are supposed to have 15 minutes to eat, which would be bad enough. But realistically we get only 10 to 11 minutes (we have been timing it).
Having to rush to eat is part of the reason for the obesity epidemic, eating disorders, indigestion and kids not doing well in school. There is research that proves all of these points. Kids just need more time to eat at school.
The following is the first two paragraphs of an article two sixth graders, Talia Bradley and Antonia Ritter, wrote regarding school lunch policies for the Star Tribune. Not only is this a high quality and well researched article, but these two young ladies make a number of extremely valid points. I strongly recommend reading the entire article! Good job girls! Here is to a future in advocacy!
