day 43 - public school meat.

Here's a link to the beef recall video. www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/arti...

"Officials estimate that some 37 million lbs of the recalled meat had been heading to schools across America though they fear that most of it will have already been eaten."

According to the hot lunch calendar the meat tube in my hand is actually turkey sausage. Not that that makes it any more appetizing, or any less greasy and over processed.

To go with the turkey meat tube there are tater-tots, and scrambled eggs. I had a hard time getting it out of it's wrapper because all of the condensation made everything stick together, and the tray that it was in fell apart.

It does, a least, look more like something I would identify as "breakfast." This is a big step up from the candy bar that was served yesterday. Still, nothing is cooked on site. Plastic bags of food are heated up in a microwave. It's full of grease and empty carbohydrates and I absolutely don't trust the meat, even if it isn't beef.

I'll continue with this series on Monday. The calendar says they're serving "Bagelers," whatever that is.
