So the school serves a sandwich consisting of peanut butter and a half-sugar topping as a "healthy" option, and seeking to classify that combination instead as junk food is ridiculous? Gonna have to disagree with you on that one, sorry. When I first read about this, I actually respected Barrios for daring to look more closely at a local institution ... and I was pretty sure he would get slammed for it.
I haven't gotten any impression that students wouldn't be allowed to bring such sandwiches from home (along with other items in the bill, like potato chips or sodas). In fact, in the last article, the restriction on Fluff was specifically to limit schools from serving it serving it more often than once a week. That sounds eminently reasonable to me, considering that the stuff is, remember, half sugar. But again a nuanced and reasonable position is being blasted as An Attack on Everything Right about America. Sigh ....
