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.

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.

Source?

Google is your friend. Tons of studies.

If there are tons it should be no problem to link a study here, no?

Still waiting on that study!

DP, I just googled it and saw no such results in the first 30 results.

Are you just at a title 1 school or are you actually poor?

In those age groups, the percentage who consumed salad(s) on the intake day was greater among those with higher household incomes than among those with lower household incomes.

New research reveals poorer families are more likely to feed children hot chips and chicken nuggets whereas wealthier families eat more salad and rice in an average week

The poster claimed they don’t like salad; not that the they consume less salad, that is obvious.

Why do you think they consume less salad, dodo? They don’t like it. And poor families can’t afford to waste money on foods kids don’t like or won’t eat. So they resort to less healthy food that is cheaper and that their kids will actually eat. My God, use your freaking common sense.

Are you just at a title 1 school or are you actually poor?

I’m a teacher at a title 1 school so my kids here are my students.

And not all kids at title 1 schools are poor.

Sweetheart, they don't eat salad regularly because it's expensive. You're the one that needs common sense, DODO.

Going back to the psycho lady who thinks no kids like salad and it will all be wasted, I told my kids that salad bars were coming back and they were both really excited.

Please tell me this is a joke. Someone can’t possibly be this dumb.

They consume less salad because for $5 you can buy a head of lettuce, a cucumber, and three tomatoes. That has about, what, 200 calories total? Maybe 300? For the same $5 you can get a pack of bologna, a small block of cheese, and a loaf of white bread and make the whole family a decently filling lunch for the day. Poor people can’t afford to waste money on crunchy water when kids need calories.

And yet you think these same kids will choose the salad bar over a hot meal at lunch time? Dream on.

If you watch the video, FCPS makes it clear that kids either choose the salad bar OR a hot entree. Not both. What do you think the poor kid will choose if they are hungry? Hint: it’s not salad.

We are at a Title One that never had one Pre-Pandemic. I was looking forward to it for my kids who like veggies. One of mine will eat most hot lunches and the other won't touch it. For the one who won't touch the hot lunch the salad bar would be a good option for days we are running late, so that we don't have to make DC a lunch. Also something she will eat if she forgets her lunch. We always have money in my school bucks for lunch, if she forgot a lunch but I'm not sure she would have eaten the menu. Our title one has quite the mix of kids - economic, cultural, religious and racial.

Listen, Kindergarten mom. You seem confused about salad bars. THEY HAD THEM AT THE SCHOOLS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. THEY WERE POPULAR. Now go away.

Kindergarten Mom - that’s cute. Is that supposed to be an insult?! I don’t have a kindergartner. I’m not confused at all - I just happen to have a different opinion than you. I think they are a waste for certain kids - the very kids they are trying to reach. Not sure why you are so worked up about it that you have to shout and tell me to go away? You sound unhinged.
