The salad bar isn’t limited to Title I schools.

It is only being re-introduced now at Title I schools. They think poor kids should be rewarded with access to better nutrition during school hours than the other kids, at least until further notice.

Because poor kids tend to eat more unhealthy as processed or canned foods are cheaper. They are trying to help them. But it often goes to waste there as a lot of those kids don’t like it.

My kids ES never had a salad bar, we were supposed to get it just as COVID shut things down. Hopefully they get it this year.

Let me get this straight. You actually believe poor kids like salad bars less than rich kids do?

Yes. That has been shown. They don’t have the taste for it as much since they don’t grow up with it.

If you are not used to eating fresh fruits and vegetables they are going to taste weird and the texture is going to be off. If you are used to eating canned goods, that is the flavor and texture that you know. Canned fruits and vegetables are a lot less expensive then fresh fruit and vegetables. And canned goods last longer then fresh. And canned goods tend are found in a lot of food packages delivered to poor families. The list of foods that the school asks to provide when our school helps pack backpacks for weekend food for kids includes apple sauce, fruit cups, canned veggies, canned tuna or tuna pouches, instant mac and cheese, and Pop-Tarts. I asked why those things were on the list and the organizer said because the know that the kids can open them and eat them without adult help and at least they know the kids will eat what is in the backpack.

So yeah, I can see kids who are being given foods that they can microwave solo as a first grader because Mom and/or Dad or whatever adult is their Guardian is not there to help them heat up dinner is not going to be used to eating fresh options found on a salad bar.

I’m at a title 1 school and my kids ate oranges, apples, carrots and salad from the salad bar this week. Not so much broccoli. They also like apples.

I meant they also like bananas.

Impossible. Poor kids only like fruit roll ups and lunchables.
