Back to School - And School Food
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2010-09-01/back-school-and-school-food
Schools throughout the Washington region are taking steps to get healthier food into cafeterias. The effort coincides with the White House's mission to combat childhood obesity. But the public health challenges of feeding school children are increasingly complex. We talk with a local chef and a local blogger and activist on the front lines of the healthy cafeteria movement.

I went to Boarding school in Cameroon, W. Africa. We had a limited diet but it was full of all the basics that you need for a good meal. I notice that it would appear that only westerners have this division of food between children and Adults. I always ate the same food as my parents. What are your thoughts on this?
