And then you'll see some kids that look like they have an Indian or Asian background and they'll pull out a tupperware or thermos with some sort of rice or noodle dish mixed with vegetables.

There was no use in going to my kids' lunch. They got 15 minutes to eat. You can barely get through the line, let alone sit down and eat.
You think that doesn't contribute to obesity? Or the epidemic of GERD?
Public schools are horrible.
Notice the very first paragraph of the article - outside of fresh food, the French kids get NINETY minutes of recess. In our schools system, they get the aforementioned 15-minute lunch and two TEN minute recesses. That's right, a total of 20 minutes.
