[quote=Anonymous]I work in a title I school where there is legitimate food insecurity and there's still a lot of waste. Some meals are more popular than others (pizza, French toast sticks). There's surprisingly spicy chicken sometimes. It's advertised as spicy, but some kids are seriously unable to handle it. Whatever changes pp said about Obama--I'm not sure what you're talking about. It's still mostly burgers and fries and fried foods. Once a week there'll be creamed spinach or anemic green beans with the main but it's not often. The fruit and veggie sides are decent options --celery and pb, fruit cup, apple sauce, cherry tomatoes. Sometimes there's a salad shaker with dressing the kids do like. The breakfast is highly processed--cinnamon rolls or pancake bags. Sometimes Honey Nut Cheerios the kids eat with chocolate milk. A ton of sugar and processed carbs. But if your kid will eat it, it's fine for 5 meals a week; just balance with healthy stuff at home. My kids don't eat it, but sometimes I wish they did! :)[/quote]
