I suspect that no educator reading the &#8220;Teacher, Revised&#8221; blog post would be surprised by its content (at least, I&#8217;m not), but it&#8217;s refreshing to see someone outside of education who has lots of &#8220;foodie&#8221; connections making themselves aware of the issue and sharing it on Twitter.\u00a0  The accompanying class blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/510eatswell.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">510 Eats Well,<\/a> features student comments and insight&#8211;why are we feeding our students so poorly?  What sort of message and model does it give students when we feed them junk?
