(34) TV, Homework, and Health Rants

I got my haircut! I kinda like it. Though it feels different. I can't remember that last time I had my hair this length.

I have/had no plans for tonight, and its actually kinda nice, surprisingly. I'm taking this time tonight to work on my website for J101, and get a head start on my Astro homework for Monday. As I'm doing this, I'm wacthing some more terrifying shows on Animal Planet such as I Shouldn't Be Alive, and Monsters Inside Me.

Earlier, I was watching an interesting show called ....Someone-Oliver's Food Revolution, something like that. I learned how processed food and chicken nuggets are made, and as much as I love chicken, I'm starting to think twice about the kind that's served on campus, or that I eat when I make microwaved meals. He literally pulled out a raw chicken, cut off all the good meat, and then demonstrated how chicken nuggets were made... And it wasn't with the good meat. x_x

It mostly featured this Oliver man at a preschool/kindergarten, and some of the kids were so uneducated about basic healthy foods, that they couldn't even name vegetables that Oliver held up in a classroom (potatoes, tomatoes, celery, etc). I understand that they're 5-6 years old, but they must know the names of things; especially foods.
There was a scene where the lunch ladies, principle, and Oliver were arguing about utensils. Apparently, the kids don't get them because there's no need to have them. The lunch menus consist only of finger foods like sloppy joes, fries, tater tots, burgers, etc.
Though I can't remember, it makes me wonder if it was any different when I was in elementary school :/

How about you guys? Was healthy food ever available when you had lunch in school (assuming you were buying lunch, of course)? If so, did you ever actually eat it? x_x
