There's no debate that everyone should eat sensibly, but reality - and the joy of food-dictate that snacks, treats and desserts are still a big part of life. Many operators today-especially school fsds who are responsible for feeding the majority of our nation's children-are restructuring their menus and replacing high-fat, high-sugar items with more sensible, nutritionally balanced desserts. And the movement toward developing sound eating habits in students has already taken off in many school districts across the country. Students at the Llano (TX) Intermediate School District have a variety of grab-and-go type snacks available to them that can be purchased with or after a meal-but not in place of one, says fsd Lawana Wimberley. "We do have a snack bar area in our district high school but there's also a reimbursable meal line where the desserts are fruit or fruit-based: cobblers, fruity gelatins and crisps."
