Lunch menus at L.A. Unified schools could soon get healthier, as the school board considers some improvements to cafeteria offerings.Sushi? Raw fish? In a school cafeteria?
LAUSD Superintendent John Deasy will ask for healthier options at Tuesday's school board meeting.
The healthier menu would not include chocolate or strawberry flavored milk.
There are also plans to add more vegetarian entrees to school cafeterias. Currently, the vegetarian options are mostly things like macaroni and cheese and cheese pizza.
LAUSD students could also soon be noshing on sushi, as the school board considers adding California rolls to school lunch menus.
"I want my children to have learned how to make healthy choices," Deasy told KTLA.
My brother-in-law is a wildlife biologist who warned me off sushi long ago (not that I was ever interested in it). He said "never eat sushi, you have no idea what's in that stuff. It's a bacterial breeding ground".
But a little flavoring in milk is worse? Wait until the first kid ends up with a parasitic infection from sushi and then try to explain to the parents why it's better than strawberry milk.

Sushi? American kids would eat sushi? Those of Japanese descent, yes; at school...it ain't like at home.
Another triumph of people who are not as smart as they think they are smarter than us, and don't have to suffer for their failures.
Healthy? The school district is going towards high carb diets: sushi=rice; Pad Thai=noodles, not to mention peanuts (allergies??); meatless=low protein.
Just watch how fat these kids get on the new "healthy" diet. This country fattens up cows with grains, and the cows get fat real quick.
I'd suggest parents send their kids to school with lunch from home, but some in the school system are trying to ban homemade lunches.
Vegetarian fascists and just plain stupid.
Be careful about calling Mr. Deasy a "Dr."
There seems to have been some funny business in his getting his doctorate degree.
Lucky LAUSD.
We had Deasy out here in Prince George's County Maryland. He used PG schools to get a job with the Gates Foundation, which then led to the LAUSD job.
