I can't make up my mind. Part of me think that U.S. school need to reimplement home economics/management (my mother had to take both a nutrition class and a how-to-balance-your-checkbook-and-apply-for-a-loan class in high school), not in the brainwashing-our-daughters sense but as a gender-neutral class on nutrition and basic food preparation that doesn't involve frying. I am absolutely shocked at the things I hear people say and how little they understand about food. And no, I'm neither a nutritionist nor a health-food nut.

Part of me thinks that that would just be another doorway for the junk food lobby and another scapegoat for people who complain that U.S. schools suck because they "waste" money on things like art and gym.
