L.A. schools ban chocolate milk, corn dogs..Let them eat sushi..

The L.A. school board's decision to stop serving flavored milks on campuses is just the beginning.

A menu overhaul is underway that will mean fewer meals that resemble fast food and more vegetarian offerings. Spinach tortellini in butternut squash sauce and California sushi rolls, along with many ethnic foods, are to be added.

Corn dogs, chicken nuggets and other breaded items are out, said Dennis Barrett, food services director.

Megan Bomba, a project coordinator with Occidental College's Urban and Environmental Policy Institute, agreed with the move, saying "the meal needs to be better, not [that] we need to keep chocolate milk" to attract students to the cafeteria, she said.

The menu proposed for fall sounds more appealing and sophisticated, she added.

The district banned sodas on campuses in 2004, starting a trend followed by the state as well as districts across the country. Later that year, the school board passed a motion to ban the sale of junk food during the school day by restricting the calories and fat content in snack foods.

Schools are more concerned about what the kids eat rather than what they learn? No wonder American education sucks.

When I was in school, we had pop(soda) machines in the cafeteria, pizza on Mondays, hot dogs, hoagies, and Chick-Fil-A on Wed-Fridays. We ate well in high school. The education sucked at my school, but the point is we ate.

Time to homeschool.

I can't wait to see LA in another riot that will probably be the end of that city. Good riddance.

This is the same city that built a $578 million dollar school building.

For whom? They don't teach anyone anything.
