SCHOOL LUNCH DEFENDED: Claims by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) that school meals are partly to blame for child obesity have irked the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) and various commodity organizations, according to the Associated Press. "You see chicken nuggets, you see pork chops, sausage pizza, pepperoni pizza," commented Jen Keller, a PCRM dietitian. "I think we all know that those foods aren't really healthy ones."
