Among the many challenges of parenthood is trying to get your kids to eat healthy food.\xa0 As the children get older, the school lunchroom becomes one of battlefields, with some kind of weekly menu posted online or sent home with the kids.\xa0 Many of these menus appear to imply that the three essential food groups are sodium, fat and sugar.\xa0 However, some schools employ a little more imagination both in providing healthy choices and evoking some interest in the fare to come.\xa0 This week the lunchrooms in our own local schools will feature \u201cRocking Roll Ups\u201d on Monday, \u201cHealthy Half Days\u201d on Wednesday and \u201cNational Sandwich Day\u201d on Thursday, with vegetarian options available daily.\xa0 I\u2019m not quite sure what all of that means but it does sound interesting.
