Federal School Lunches Linked to Childhood Obesity

A good example of crappy research and impossible conclusions based on poor data, yet touted as truth, most likely for political reasons.

With children going back to school, parents are concerned that their youngsters are staying fit and eating right, especially those who dine in a school cafeteria.

New research funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture finds that children who eat school lunches that are part of the federal government's National School Lunch Program are more likely to become overweight.

The same research study found, however, that children who eat both the breakfast and lunch sponsored by the federal government are less heavy than children who don't participate in either, and than children who eat only the lunch, says economist Daniel L. Millimet at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

This is the kind of dissembling they use to steal money from our pockets.

IMHO liars, or idiots. Take your pick.

Read about school lunches and why they are NOT a cause of overweight/obesity.
