West Virginia schools offer modified junk food to students

In an effort to entice students to eat food that is good for them, or at least better for them than what they had been eating, West Virginia officials are offering such modified junk foods as "protein-packed donuts, low sodium hot dogs on wheat buns, low-fat pancakes and baked French fries." according to an ABC News article:

"They have to be able to still enjoy their favorite foods, but let's let them enjoy them at a lower risk to their health," said Kennan chef Harold Kuhn.

But critics say the faux junk food can steer children in the wrong direction.

"I'm worried that they go away from those meals with the message that wherever they eat those foods they might be perfectly healthy," said pediatrician Dr. Stephen Daniels.

The schools insist they educate students about what they're eating.
