Dips and Tricks

The next time you are out for lunch at a food fair or a fast food restaurant, pick up some of the condiments you could use in a lunchbox. Some examples would be jams and jellies, salad dressings, mustard and ketchup, mayo, cream cheese and even hot sauce. Keep them in the fridge and get creative with a school lunch by adding these disposable items.

School Lunch tip for Dad's

Hey Dad if you are the one delegated to making lunch for your child or your children here is a tip.
Use bread or buns from the freezer. Yep, saw through that frozen bun and then slather on the condiments.

- Then put the sandwich or bunwich into a ziplock bag . . .

- Use a straw to suck out the air, seal and presto you have it shrinkwrapped

By the time lunch rolls around it will be fully thawed and fresh NOT soggy.

Ronald McDonald Banned from schools

Thank goodnes an education official said that children may be confused when fast-food clown Ronald McDonald visits elementary schools promoting . . . believe it or not, fitness and healthy eating?????

Kudos to the education department for sending a memo to school districts reminding them to be careful when volunteering classrooms to corporate advertising and propoganda.

McDonald's is trying to position itself as more of a health conscious corporate citizen and is using Ronald McDonald to bring a carefully scripted healthy living message into the schools.

All I can say is that they have "Supersized" enough kids and if they really wanted to play corporate good guy, they should serve FREE organic vegetable soup and salad in every school cafeteria in America everyday. I would clap when over one million kids are served a decent lunch!
