Is this type of discrimination even legal?  [/quote]

The salad bar isn’t limited to Title I schools.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Let me get this straight. You actually believe poor kids like salad bars less than rich kids do?[/quote]

Yes. That has been shown. They don’t have the taste for it as much since they don’t grow up with it. [/quote]

Source?[/quote]

Google is your friend. Tons of studies. [/quote]

If there are tons it should be no problem to link a study here, no?[/quote]

Still waiting on that study![/quote]

DP, I just googled it and saw no such results in the first 30 results.[/quote]

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

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.

New research reveals poorer families are more likely to feed children hot chips and chicken nuggets whereas wealthier families eat more salad and rice in an average week [/quote]
