    I love these entries! So much shiny pizza and "we swear its mostly chicken" nuggets...and that bag of milk! Seriously...I am so intrigued by it. I have never seen one (ok, maybe I don't get out that much...don't make fun). Secret? I spent 30 minutes last night trying to google that thing. I have so many questions! How do you drink out of it? Does it come with a straw? If not, do you tear off a corner and suck it out? Does it stand up on its own? What happens if you need to put it down? Can I heat it up in the winter and use it as a hand warmer? Does it feel like a bean bag? Can I toss it like a bean bag? This milk baggie thing, it speaks to me. I can't stop staring.

    Hi Leah - Because there's so much misinformation out there about Teflon, I'm not surprised that there is some concern. I'm a representative of DuPont though, and hope you'll let me share some information with you and your readers so that everyone can make truly informed decisions. Regulatory agencies, consumer groups and health associations all have taken a close look at Teflon. This article highlights what they found -- the bottom line is that you can use Teflon without worry.

    I'd truly be glad to share additional information about it if you are interested, and appreciate your consideration of this comment. Cheers, Ross.

    Pizza and chicken nuggets, served with lots of disposable packaging, serving trays and utensils. Garbage in (the kids) garbage out (to the landfills). UGH!

    I'm with you, Leah, cast iron pans all the way! (With the exception of a couple of All Clad saucepans.) Well seasoned cast irons can't be beat for durability and can be purchased very inexpensively.

    Us line cooks definitely use Non-stick pans in the kitchen, particularly for breakfast and sometimes seafood. Trick is the keep the heat fairly low and wipe them out afterwards. They do get burned out fairly fast if you are not careful.

    Wow! There's certainly an array of food here (although pizza appears to be the hands-down most popular to serve). Growing up, I always brought a bagged lunch from home - buying lunch at school seemed like a dream to me, something only the 'rich' kids could do.

    These are all great entries and write-ups!

    Oh boy, yet something else we are not supposed to use. Thank you for informing us about this. I just wonder if there is anything on this earth that is safe anymore. It seems like there is always something toxic, doesn't it?

    Any casino online that does not offer the casino games that this one does is not worth your time or your gambling dollars.

    Great article! I agree that for the most part, those working in school lunchrooms are soldiers on the front line. They have it coming at them from every direction. It seems we need to find a way to be supportive but affect change!
