Consumer Reports called on the Department of Agriculture today to remove Lunchables food kits from the National School Lunch Program. CR recently compared the nutritional profiles of two Lunchable kits served in schools and found they have even higher levels of sodium than the kits consumers can buy in the store. CR also tested 12 store-bought versions of Lunchables and similar kits and found several contained relatively high levels of lead and cadmium. All but one also tested positive for phthalates, chemicals found in plastic that have been linked to reproductive problems, diabetes, and certain cancers.
If true LOfuckingL and I’m so not surprised.
I was listening to the radio yesterday about all the school boards now suing social media companies. It’s great and I applaud it but let’s get real, government is shirking their damn job if school boards are expected to reign in corporations.
We got this bad because of laissez faire attitudes around a free market and letting companies do what they damn well please.
