First LAUSD is already leading the nation in serving healthy and nutritious meals to its students. It has already taken extraordinary steps in banning the sale of sodas and other drinks high in sugar in its schools, banning the sale of junk food, eliminating added trans fats and palm oil, reducing sodium levels and added sugars and increasing access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Additionally the district has been recognized and commended by the federal government for having food nutrition guidelines that far exceed the government’s own guidelines. Second, reality TV has a success formula. It has to have conflict and a lot of drama and quite frankly the District is not interested in either. LAUSD did invite Jamie to participate in its menu committee (without his cameras) but he has not taken the District up in the offer. Wonder why? No Cameras???
