We don’t want our children put on a government-approved diet of “spent hens” and other menu items that don’t even pass muster with the fast-food industry.

The good news is that some unlucky members of Congress and their aides will be served a heaping helping of school lunches one day next week — ironically enough because the Agriculture Department thinks it is doing a great job feeding America’s schoolchildren.

We’ll keep serving our kids lunches from Costco. The food there is a safer health bet.
