There is so much food waste! It’s incredibly disheartening to see how much gets tossed everything from milk to fruits and vegetables. Main dishes are barely eaten.

I understand that the school system wants food to be nutritional but what good is nutritional food when it’s not been eaten? Bring back the days when food was tastier and actually eaten even if it means a slightly higher salt content or using quite bread instead of whole-grain and whole wheat.[/quote]

Do you work in MCPS? I have almost never seen a nutritious food on the menu. It's all pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, super-sugary vanilla yogurt with granola, and muffins. Also bagels. Chocolate milk on offer at every meal, and giant cookies as well.

I let my kids order pizza twice a month if they ask, and otherwise pack lunch. Which still may not be winning nutrition awards (one kid really likes sunbutter sandwiches and cheese practically daily) but it's homemade and better than the dreck the county calls food.[/quote]

School lunches are ultra-processed foods for the most part, a contributor to obesity. It's mostly junk food. If you want your child to eat healthy, pack a lunch. [/quote]
