[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There is a ton of food waste in the lunch program and it might be an attempt to scale back some of the changes that were made.

Truthfully, the school lunches today are really awful and if there are kids who need the lunch but then don't eat it because of taste , I would rather serve them something they will eat.[/quote]

Agree. Food is not nutritious if kids don't eat it.

I volunteer with a weekend backpack program for children to have food on the weekends.  At first we gave them things like peanut butter crackers, bananas, oranges, cinnamon oatmeal to which they only had to add hot water, string cheese, shelf life milk, juice boxes, bags of carrots and snap peas, pop top cans of soup with the hope that they or someone would heat them for them.  We found that parents, older siblings, and others in the house were taking anything with any flavor and leaving the children with oatmeal, carrots and snap peas.  We have had to go mostly to things that don't taste so good, but which the children have a chance of keeping for themselves.  [/quote]
