I can still remember how the sight of the salisbury steak at my elementary school cafeteria would make my stomach turn. It had grill marks on it, the kind where it's pretty obvious it never actually rested on a grill, with miscellaneous brown sauce on the side. And I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain it was accompanied by a side of french fries. Of course not all school lunches were that unappetizing and unhealthy, but I just can't shake that particular memory. However, soon kids will have healthy (well at least healthier) lunches, thanks to the recent bill passed by the white house called the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. And what better beloved character to get kids excited about eating nutritious meals at school than ELMO! Here, he talks to Sam, the white house chef:
I love how he uses he tells Sam he doesn't like vegetables - because he loves them! Here's hoping that kids will start to get used to eating healthy at a young age, leading to fewer health problems and more fun being active.
