What are the most important nutritional guidelines for children to learn in school?

Asked at Massachusetts Street on January 20, 2005

“Eat lots and lots of ice cream. It's what made me what I am today.”

“I would say to only eat until you are full. People today eat so much more food than they need to.”

“They need to stress eating fruits and vegetables in health and science classes and through their hot meal program.”

“I would say to learn the basic food groups so that they get a little bit of everything they need.”
