What’s the problem with school lunch? Everything or nothing depending on how you choose to look at the issue. We’ve chosen to think about food in school and what we provide to our children each day that they come to school.
As they say, you are what you eat. But what are we giving to students while their with us and what does that make them become? From breakfast to lunch and everything in between, schools control what students it. The truth is that in many schools, the food that we provide does not do a great job and nursing the young people who we are charged to serve.
The School Lunch Podcast episode becomes a bit of a metaphor for school in general. We know that the food we serve our students isn’t the best. It could be a lot better and sometimes, it might even harm them. But, it’s the best we can do given the resources we have so it fills them up and gets them to the next day. Ultimately, we believe we can do so much better for our students. What if we were able to change school lunch and the way our kids eat? What if we were able to provide great food and great resources on the journey to teach young people how to live healthy, happy, and fulfilling lives? We can do that and this episode, School Lunch, begins the conversation about working toward that goal together.
