[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do Maryland schools not offer school lunch?[/quote]

They do, but it is both unhealthy and tastes awful. And the lower income the school, the worse the offerings. We’re at 3 middles in MoCo. They all seem to rotate offerings across the week, but two have options and one does not. One offers a hot breakfast or a fruit and yogurt parfait each day for breakfast. Another has either an egg sandwich or bagel and cream cheese. The third has no choice and the best day is crappy cinnamon rolls on Friday.[/quote]

The food contract goes to the vendor who can produce the food at the least cost to MCPS.  It is sad because MCPS is now having to feed the children because hunger is rampant in FARMS communities, so something needs to be done.  Producing healthier fare takes a lot of money that the county no longer has.  The best thing that non-FARMS families can do is pack a healthy snack and lunch for their kids.

It is money and funding.  Maybe, political will also. Who knows?[/quote]
