A transcript of their conversation follows, edited for clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>This is a great idea, but I understand it kind of comes from a sad place, right? I mean, essentially because you had a pretty lonely experience at lunchtime.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah, I did. At my old school, I was completely ostracized by all of my classmates, and so I had to eat lunch alone every day. When you walk into the lunchroom and you see all the tables of everyone sitting there and you know that going up to them would only end in rejection, you feel extremely alone and extremely isolated, and your stomach drops. And you are searching for a place to eat, but you know that if you sit by yourself, there'll be so much embarrassment that comes with it because people will know and they'll see you as the girl who has nowhere to sit. So there's so many awful feelings that come along with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You eventually changed schools, and you did make friends in this new school. But it sounds like you couldn't shake that feeling, right, that experience.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I felt that if I was thriving in a new school but didn't do anything about the people who feel like this every single day, then I'm just as bad as the people who watched me eat alone. I felt like, with my story, it was my job to stand up and do something about all the kids who feel like this every day.

At my old school, I was completely ostracized by all of my classmates, and so I had to eat lunch alone every day. When you walk into the lunchroom and you see all the tables of everyone sitting there and you know that going up to them would only end in rejection, you feel extremely alone and extremely isolated, and your stomach drops. And you are searching for a place to eat, but you know that if you sit by yourself, there'll be so much embarrassment that comes with it because people will know and they'll see you as the girl who has nowhere to sit.

To eat them, or not to eat them. Actually, it's more about whether the government should give free eggs to poor, malnourished children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all began in late May, when Shivraj Chouhan, the chief minister of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, shot down a proposal to serve eggs in government-run day care centers (\u003cem>anganwadis\u003c/em>) in some tribal areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These communities have high rates of malnutrition, says Sachin Jain, a local food-rights activist in the state. \"The idea behind the proposal was to address the gap in protein deficiency through ... eggs,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chouhan \u003ca href=\"http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/veg-chouhan-blocks-eggs-in-anganwadis/\">wasn't convinced\u003c/a>. As Indian newspapers reported, he publicly vowed not to allow eggs to be served as long as he was minister.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why this vehement opposition to eggs? Well, the local community of Jains, which is strictly vegetarian and also powerful in the state, has previously thwarted efforts to introduce eggs in day care centers and schools. Chouhan is an upper caste Hindu man who recently became a vegetarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the state of Madhya Pradesh is mostly vegetarian, as are some other states, like Karnataka, Rajasthan and Gujarat. For years, the more politically vocal vegetarians in these states have kept eggs out of school lunches and \u003cem>anganwadis.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here's the thing: While these states as a whole may be mostly vegetarian, the poorest — and most malnourished — Indians generally are not. They would eat eggs, if only they could afford them, says Dipa Sinha, an economist at the Center for Equity Studies in New Delhi and an expert on India's preschool and school feeding programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>India's free school lunch program alone reaches about \u003ca href=\"http://pulitzercenter.org/projects/asia-india-midday-meal-program-corruption-success-nutrition-poverty-school-lunch\">120 million of India's poorest children\u003c/a>, and the \u003cem>anganwadis\u003c/em> reach millions of younger children. So, the egg war isn't trivial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chouhan's office \u003ca href=\"http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/egg-less-meals-at-anganwadis-madhya-pradeshs-ban-pitches-nutrition-against-politics/articleshow/47560045.cms\">has said\u003c/a> the chief minister is \"sentimental\" about keeping \u003cem>anganwadis\u003c/em> egg-free. \"This is a very upper caste Hindu sentiment,\" says Sinha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hindu scriptures prescribe \u003ca href=\"http://pulitzercenter.org/reporting/asia-india-school-lunch-program-caste-discrimination\">notions of purity\u003c/a> for people belonging to upper castes, Sinha explains. \"You can't use the same spoon as someone else. You can't sit next to someone eating meat. You can't eat food cooked by someone who eats meat. And they think this is a dominant culture and that they can impose it on anyone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/beef-banned-in-maharashtra-5-yrs-jail-rs10000-fine-for-possession-or-sale/\">recent ban\u003c/a> on the slaughter of bulls and bullocks in the neighboring state of Maharashtra also reflects this sentiment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While most Hindus today don't eat beef, Hindus belonging to lower castes, including Dalits (considered the lowest in India's caste hierarchy), do rely on this meat as a regular source of protein, as do Christians and Muslims. Dalit scholars have \u003ca href=\"http://scroll.in/article/714661/beef-ban-is-an-attempt-to-impose-upper-caste-culture-on-other-hindus-kancha-ilaiah\">called this ban\u003c/a> an effort to impose upper-caste Hindu values on the lower caste minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We often assume Indians are largely vegetarian, but that assumption doesn't hold up against data. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/the-food-habits-of-a-nation/article3089973.ece\">2006 survey\u003c/a> by the Delhi-based \u003ca href=\"http://www.csds.in/\">Center for the Study of Developing Societies\u003c/a> found that more than 50 percent of Indians are in fact non-vegetarian. They eat fish, chicken, beef and, yes, eggs, too. Vegetarianism is often limited to privileged, upper caste Hindu communities and a couple of other religions, like Jainism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most underprivileged Indians, on the other hand, including Dalits and tribal communities, are non-vegetarians, says Sinha. Their children make up the majority of India's most malnourished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is why public health policy experts and right-to-food activists all over the country are trying to introduce eggs into government schools and day cares.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some states already serve eggs, and they are popular among the children. Sinha recalls an incident from several years ago, when she was visiting schools in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh to see how well the school lunch program was working. The state had recently begun to provide eggs in school lunches. One school had a box where students submitted their complaints and feedback about the school meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We opened it, and one of the letters in that box was from a girl in [fourth grade],\" says Sinha. \"It was a Dalit girl, who said, 'Thank you very much. I got to eat an egg in my life for the first time.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Wherever eggs are introduced, attendance goes up,\" says Sinha. \"It's very popular, because children don't get it at home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eggs are also an easy way to provide much-needed protein and fat to malnourished children, says Sachin Jain, the food rights activist. They are easy to procure locally, and storage and transportation aren't a problem. \"No ... vegetarian food item is that good a source of protein,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milk, which comes close and is often touted as a good alternative by vegetarians like Chouhan, comes with many complications. It is often diluted by suppliers and is easy to contaminate, says Jain. It also requires more infrastructure to store and transport to remote rural areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am a vegetarian,\" adds Jain. \"I have never touched an egg. But I have other sources of fat and protein, like ghee (clarified butter) and milk. Tribals, Dalits and other poor people don't have these options. They can't afford these things.

To eat them, or not to eat them. Actually, it's more about whether the government should give free eggs to poor, malnourished children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all began in late May, when Shivraj Chouhan, the chief minister of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, shot down a proposal to serve eggs in government-run day care centers (\u003cem>anganwadis\u003c/em>) in some tribal areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These communities have high rates of malnutrition, says Sachin Jain, a local food-rights activist in the state. \"The idea behind the proposal was to address the gap in protein deficiency through ... eggs,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chouhan \u003ca href=\"http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/veg-chouhan-blocks-eggs-in-anganwadis/\">wasn't convinced\u003c/a>. As Indian newspapers reported, he publicly vowed not to allow eggs to be served as long as he was minister.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why this vehement opposition to eggs? Well, the local community of Jains, which is strictly vegetarian and also powerful in the state, has previously thwarted efforts to introduce eggs in day care centers and schools. Chouhan is an upper caste Hindu man who recently became a vegetarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the state of Madhya Pradesh is mostly vegetarian, as are some other states, like Karnataka, Rajasthan and Gujarat. For years, the more politically vocal vegetarians in these states have kept eggs out of school lunches and \u003cem>anganwadis.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here's the thing: While these states as a whole may be mostly vegetarian, the poorest — and most malnourished — Indians generally are not. They would eat eggs, if only they could afford them, says Dipa Sinha, an economist at the Center for Equity Studies in New Delhi and an expert on India's preschool and school feeding programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>India's free school lunch program alone reaches about \u003ca href=\"http://pulitzercenter.org/projects/asia-india-midday-meal-program-corruption-success-nutrition-poverty-school-lunch\">120 million of India's poorest children\u003c/a>, and the \u003cem>anganwadis\u003c/em> reach millions of younger children. So, the egg war isn't trivial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chouhan's office \u003ca href=\"http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/egg-less-meals-at-anganwadis-madhya-pradeshs-ban-pitches-nutrition-against-politics/articleshow/47560045.cms\">has said\u003c/a> the chief minister is \"sentimental\" about keeping \u003cem>anganwadis\u003c/em> egg-free. \"This is a very upper caste Hindu sentiment,\" says Sinha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hindu scriptures prescribe \u003ca href=\"http://pulitzercenter.org/reporting/asia-india-school-lunch-program-caste-discrimination\">notions of purity\u003c/a> for people belonging to upper castes, Sinha explains. \"You can't use the same spoon as someone else. You can't sit next to someone eating meat. You can't eat food cooked by someone who eats meat. And they think this is a dominant culture and that they can impose it on anyone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/beef-banned-in-maharashtra-5-yrs-jail-rs10000-fine-for-possession-or-sale/\">recent ban\u003c/a> on the slaughter of bulls and bullocks in the neighboring state of Maharashtra also reflects this sentiment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While most Hindus today don't eat beef, Hindus belonging to lower castes, including Dalits (considered the lowest in India's caste hierarchy), do rely on this meat as a regular source of protein, as do Christians and Muslims. Dalit scholars have \u003ca href=\"http://scroll.in/article/714661/beef-ban-is-an-attempt-to-impose-upper-caste-culture-on-other-hindus-kancha-ilaiah\">called this ban\u003c/a> an effort to impose upper-caste Hindu values on the lower caste minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We often assume Indians are largely vegetarian, but that assumption doesn't hold up against data. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/the-food-habits-of-a-nation/article3089973.ece\">2006 survey\u003c/a> by the Delhi-based \u003ca href=\"http://www.csds.in/\">Center for the Study of Developing Societies\u003c/a> found that more than 50 percent of Indians are in fact non-vegetarian. They eat fish, chicken, beef and, yes, eggs, too. Vegetarianism is often limited to privileged, upper caste Hindu communities and a couple of other religions, like Jainism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most underprivileged Indians, on the other hand, including Dalits and tribal communities, are non-vegetarians, says Sinha. Their children make up the majority of India's most malnourished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is why public health policy experts and right-to-food activists all over the country are trying to introduce eggs into government schools and day cares.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some states already serve eggs, and they are popular among the children. Sinha recalls an incident from several years ago, when she was visiting schools in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh to see how well the school lunch program was working. The state had recently begun to provide eggs in school lunches. One school had a box where students submitted their complaints and feedback about the school meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We opened it, and one of the letters in that box was from a girl in [fourth grade],\" says Sinha. \"It was a Dalit girl, who said, 'Thank you very much. I got to eat an egg in my life for the first time.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Wherever eggs are introduced, attendance goes up,\" says Sinha. \"It's very popular, because children don't get it at home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eggs are also an easy way to provide much-needed protein and fat to malnourished children, says Sachin Jain, the food rights activist. They are easy to procure locally, and storage and transportation aren't a problem. \"No ... vegetarian food item is that good a source of protein,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milk, which comes close and is often touted as a good alternative by vegetarians like Chouhan, comes with many complications. It is often diluted by suppliers and is easy to contaminate, says Jain. It also requires more infrastructure to store and transport to remote rural areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am a vegetarian,\" adds Jain. \"I have never touched an egg. But I have other sources of fat and protein, like ghee (clarified butter) and milk. Tribals, Dalits and other poor people don't have these options. They can't afford these things. Then, eggs become a very good option for them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We still have very high malnutrition,\" says Dipa Sinha. \"Every third Indian child is malnourished.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This context\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>is crucial in this discussion, she says, \"because the best interest of the child is what should be driving policy.

Here are a few:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Myth 1: Kids are not eating more fruits and vegetables. Vilsack says that's not accurate. Specifically, \"a recent Harvard study has concluded that, under the updated standards, kids are now eating 16 percent more vegetables and 23 percent more fruit at lunch\" compared to before the HHFKA was implemented, according to the USDA \u003ca href=\"http://www.fns.usda.gov/pressrelease/2014/009814\">fact sheet\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Myth 2: Schools Are Losing Money. The SNA says about one million fewer kids are buying school lunch, which is leading to economic hardship. But Vilsack says, though some districts may be struggling, the system as a whole is seeing more revenue. In fact, a USDA analysis suggests that in the first year after implementation, schools saw a net nationwide increase in revenue from school lunches of approximately $200 million.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Myth 3: The new nutrition standards are leading to more plate waste. As we've reported, some school food directors are reporting that students are tossing away foods they don't want to eat. But the USDA says there's no evidence that plate waste has increased. The agency points to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797%2813%2900635-1/abstract\">recent study\u003c/a> by the Harvard School of Public health that showed the new school meal standards did not result in increased plate waste.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Leaders of the National School Board Association say they're concerned about \"federal overreach on school meals.\" But the First Lady maintains that now is not the time to turn back the standards.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1403549314,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":15,"wordCount":659},"headData":{"title":"School Nutrition Fight Widens As School Board Members Join In | KQED","description":"Leaders of the National School Board Association say they're concerned about "federal overreach on school meals."

Specifically, \"a recent Harvard study has concluded that, under the updated standards, kids are now eating 16 percent more vegetables and 23 percent more fruit at lunch\" compared to before the HHFKA was implemented, according to the USDA \u003ca href=\"http://www.fns.usda.gov/pressrelease/2014/009814\">fact sheet\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Myth 2: Schools Are Losing Money. The SNA says about one million fewer kids are buying school lunch, which is leading to economic hardship. But Vilsack says, though some districts may be struggling, the system as a whole is seeing more revenue. In fact, a USDA analysis suggests that in the first year after implementation, schools saw a net nationwide increase in revenue from school lunches of approximately $200 million.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Myth 3: The new nutrition standards are leading to more plate waste. As we've reported, some school food directors are reporting that students are tossing away foods they don't want to eat. But the USDA says there's no evidence that plate waste has increased. The agency points to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797%2813%2900635-1/abstract\">recent study\u003c/a> by the Harvard School of Public health that showed the new school meal standards did not result in increased plate waste.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/83810/school-nutrition-fight-widens-as-school-board-members-join-in","authors":["byline_bayareabites_83810"],"categories":["bayareabites_1246","bayareabites_10916","bayareabites_2035"],"tags":["bayareabites_9530","bayareabites_13410","bayareabites_13411","bayareabites_450","bayareabites_10921"],"featImg":"bayareabites_83816","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_83212":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_83212","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"83212","score":null,"sort":[1402517834000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"lobbyists-loom-behind-the-scenes-of-school-nutrition-fight","title":"Lobbyists Loom Behind The Scenes Of School Nutrition Fight","publishDate":1402517834,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83213\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2941px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/schwan-pizza-d1f8ac165fe755069a4d9b6e453bcfb3c8856d33.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/schwan-pizza-d1f8ac165fe755069a4d9b6e453bcfb3c8856d33.jpg\" alt=\"Patrick McCoy (right) and Harry Fowler of the Schwan Food Co. show off their company's Big Daddy's pizza at the School Nutrition Association's national conference in Chicago in 2007.
