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.

Really? I just googled “do poor kids like salad” and immediately got results.

https://www.ars.usda.gov/ARSUserFiles/80400530/pdf/DBrief/19_Salad_consumption_2011_2014.pdf

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.

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.

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.

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.

You understand that the salad bar isn’t just lettuce right? It has universally kid friendly foods like ham, cheese, plain chicken, cut up fruit, etc. You can’t tell us with a straight face that poor kids won’t eat ham right?

I think your entire premise is wrong anyway. The kids that will be most excited by the hot food junk food and fill up on that are the ones who don’t get it that often. For kids who don’t get salad at home, or don’t get to eat that kind of fresh food with so much choice, it will be a fun novelty.

I disagree. Hungry kids will gravitate to what they’re used to and like and what will fill them up.

While I agree that there is a TON of food waste with the salad bar, I need to correct you on something. With the salad bar, everyone gets it, whether they choose the hot lunch or not. They CAN choose to skip the hot meal by building an entree salad, but all kids getting the school lunch start with a trip through the salad bar. They can fill 2-3 spots with fruits and vegetables and then still get a hot lunch, or they can fill four sections of their tray with salad bar and get a milk and a soft pretzel from the hot line.

+1, they can do both salad bar and hot food line.

No, I'm not making ignorant shit up about poor kids like you are. I am stating a fact. They had salad bars pre-pandemic. They were popular. You're all "but poor kids don't like salad, wah wah" and it makes you sound like the dumb rich white lady that knows nothing about disadvantaged communities that you are.

I guess you didn’t read the studies. Oh well. It doesn’t matter if they had salad bars pre pandemic - that’s irrelevant to the point I was making. Also, I am correct in that salad bars create a lot of waste. Have a good day.

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.

Exactly. So you saying I like it and I’m at a title 1 school is meaningless. How do the poor kids they are trying to reach like it? How much waste is generated? Would love to see data on that. Hearing anecdotes about how “excited you’re kids are” or that your kids “love it” means nothing.

Will the salad bars be returning to all schools soon?
