So when we brought up Colbert and his presentation to Congress on farmers it got me thinking about this episode of the Daily Show I saw recently which discussed the changes being made in some schools in what is offered for lunch. The government has put caloric limits on how much students can consume and are changing what types of food is offered. This however has been met by huge backlash because our society has become so used to huge quantities and lower quality of food. Here is a clip from the episode which better illustrates the discussion. Thought you might be interested to know that our government is taking some steps towards decreasing diseases such as diabetes by promoting healthier food consumption.
