USA School Lunch - Chips and Corn

Country: USA

Contents: Chips, ground turkey, black beans, banana, corn, and 1% milk.

Source: http://betterdcschoolfood.blogspot.com/2010/08/is-there-enough-corn-on-this-tray.html Thanks Ed!

Notes: Well, let's look at the positives here. The chips are corn chips, which are preferable to most potato chips. There are black beans, which are big in nutrients. The meat is turkey, which is lower in fat. The corn is still on the cob. Bananas are great for you. And finally, the milk is low fat. Baby steps.
