No way. Unless you have a stomach the size of a crab apple, one slice is not enough. Pizza is fine as nutrition, its not a chocolate bar as people pretend it is. You have a dairy, wheat, vegetables and meats. Yeah, greasy but its not like it offers nothing of nutrition like Pop or chocolate.
How isn't it an argument? The caloric intake for school age children varies from around average of 1600-2500. If you're on the low end one slice is fine. If you're on the high end 280 calories for lunch is not enough to be a satisfactory mid-day meal. A kid who sits at school and then goes home and sits is going to get more runway out of a single slice than a kid who is running around at school then goes home and plays for a couple hours.
For some kids a single slice is fine. For some its not enough to eat. This isn't really an argument, its just a thing that's true.
Oddly enough, though granted I'm not a kid any more, for someone my size and activity level the recommended daily caloric intake is 2900-3100, so this isn't really hyperbole.Being active doesn't magical mean you can take in 3000 calories(hyperbole, I know what you mean).
Don't think Michelle Obama has a lot to do with the policies of a private Catholic school in Canada.
Everytime this clown posts something to do with weight, it convinces me a touch more that he is some fat fuck with self-loathing issues.
I definitively agree, but the point was that "one slice, not two" means nothing if we don't have any idea about what those slices are.

As per the definition of "poverty" it must exist in all countries where there is any variance in what people might earn.
What kind of mentally insane communistic need for control is going on in your mind???
It's none of your damn business what someone else eats and how much.
"We need to enforce nutritional guidelines at a young age." Enforce? You can't spell ENFORCE without FORCE. How will you enforce it? With jail time? Fines? Guns? Why on earth would you want to give government beurocracy power over what you and your children eat??? Go live in North Korea, where people are only allowed to have meat on their birthdays or certain days of the year... Their nutritional guidelines are really enforced! Kim Jong Un's the only obese person in his entire country. Great to see! Get these kids used to it!
are the slices the size of a whole plate or something? and what kind of pizza? italian, pan etc
I wasn't being serious. I know how much they can POTENTIALLY burn.
I find it funny that you're the only person here even attempting to post something resembling a rational thought/argument even if it is just a copy/paste. I might disagree with those numbers and point out that it's obviously going to be different for each kid.
Are you cool giving a kid 500+ calories in a single food type every lunch?
I think it's important to remember that the school is required to give a certain amount at lunch, and that the parents are allowed to send whatever they want at lunch.
Nowhere did I imply that. WTF are you talking about?
Those aren't in Canada. That's not "lots".
If they have such an issue with Pizza, why serve It?
Kids playing video games and having far less to do that requires physical movement nowadays is causing a large part of the problem.
A slice of Pizza is a joke. I'm 5'11" and weigh about 135lbs (I probably weigh less than most middle school students). I can easily eat half a large pizza without being super hungry. A slice of pizza is literally enough to hold me over for what? 1 hour... 2 hours max.

Quality debate going on here. If pizza makes everyone so angry, I'd hate to see what a war would do.
yeah ok... cause letting the kids be hungry at school where they are likely active is smart.. then they go home and might be eating nothing but junkfood cause they are starving.

All this post has been successful at is making me want pizza. That said, in Canada most of the time theyll order from a terrible chain called Pizza Pizza! and most of the time those are all cheese or pepperoni. Neither one being a healthy or balanced option. Pizza, if done right, can be be very healthy and very balanced.
