This is so much feel-good crap. A salad bar in public school? You actually think kids won't plant bodily fluids in the greens? That aside, check this out:
But schools also are deterred by USDA regulations that require students to pass by a cash register or "point of sale" station after they have been to the salad bar to ensure that they have served themselves the correct portions of fruits and vegetables required under the federal lunch program. In October, the USDA's Food and Services division, which oversees the subsidized meal program, circulated a memo saying that while it encourages the use of salad bars in schools, school menu planners must tell students the minimum amounts they must take from salad bars, cashiers "must be trained to judge accurately the quantities of self-service items," and point-of-sale registers "must be stationed after the salad bar."
Gotta love it. "Um, you have to go back. You have too much three-bean salad and not enough of the useless iceberg lettuce."
Oh, how I long for the days when irrationality amounted to no more than classifying ketchup as a vegetable.
