[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any of the charter schools offer consistently healthy, nutritious, whole food based meal options that are not overly processed and don't have too much sugar, but are quality and still taste good?  Many of the lunch menu options don't sound that healthy or appetizing and the breakfast options seem to have a lot of sugary foods without much nutrition.  I realize most of the schools probably have larger concerns and this might be a relatively low priority, but it's still important and I'm curious if any school does it well.[/quote]

The schools which seem to do this well have in house kitchens.  It's a big undertaking and can involve $500k+ in construction costs and equipment, so for many schools it is something they have decided not to do, that they can't afford it.

Most of the school meal vendors seem to be unable to meet all of these requirements at a reasonable cost.  Schools receive nothing close to adequate funds to cover higher quality ingredients and food prep.[/quote]
