What Are We Doing?

I sat with the first-graders at my school. The three in front of me were eating:

Yogurt (with sugar)
Granola (with sugar)
Chocolate milk
Teddy grahams
A fruit cup (processed, but no label, so I'm not sure if it had added sugar.)

From the labels I ascertained that their "meal" included 12 teaspoons of added sugar.

There were other options, but if I had the choice, I wouldn't select they grayish looking hamburger patty or the strangely bloated ham slice either.
