I wonder how many illegal immigrants they put out of work by doing this?

[CincyRichieRich]

Ah yes e-coli and Listeria...a great combination.
Why is it liberals always think the magic formula of EPA + Birkenstocks + organic + Prius = ticket to heaven?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

But are they gluten-free?

Marin City is where Tupac’s bodyguard killed a 10 yr old boy while shooting at a rival from a moving car following a rap concert.

When I drove past it I’d sing “in the ghetto”, the Eric Cartman version.

the SKOO is in Marin City.....Marin County’s Harlem so to speak

I can imagine a graduate from the school district—yep, I never ate a GMO lunch, unfortunately, I can't read.

[GreyFriar]

How much of this food is going to go into the garbage because the children won’t eat it and how much more will the tax payers have to increase the school budget to pay the higher costs of this politically correct fad diet?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I don’t buy most of the crap that dieticians and nutritionist spout. I am old enough to remember that eggs and milk went for being nature’s most nearly perfect foods to being treated as if they were poisons and back to being treated as nature’s most nearly perfect foods.

We know that organic foods are more expensive than those not labeled as organic and that they carry more bacteria and other pathogens than the food that is not organic.

We also know there is absolutely no evidence that GMOs are harmful. And we eat GMOs all the time. Just look at your cereal boxes and look for the word “corn” in the ingredients. Corn was genetically engineered by humans about 2,500 years ago in Mexico.

As long as they’re still eating low-fat, high-carb, it won’t matter that they’re eating organic, non-GMO.

“The results speak for themselves,” Steve Van Zant, superintendent for Sausalito Marin City School District, said in a statement. “Since launching the pilot at Bayside MLK Academy in 2013, students are eating real food for breakfast and lunch, discipline cases have dropped dramatically, attendance has improved, food waste is down, and students and teachers sharing of meals has led to improved manners and open communication, greatly enhancing the school community.”

Wow, that is a LOT of effect from merely changing the food menu.

ALL food is organic--being organic ourselves, we cannot eat any non-organic substance.

And ALL food raised through agriculture is genetically modified, or "GMO." Human beings have been genetically "improving" foods ever since we discovered agriculture. So, unless the school is serving wild game and plants gathered from the wilderness, they are lying if they claim to be serving "non-GMO." Those bananas couldn't even survive in the wild--they are triploid (three copies of every chromosome), which is NOT a naturally occurring genetic arrangement. And that lettuce--altered from wild lettuce, as are the beans and the corn used to make the tortillas. If that is beef on the tacos--well, the wild ancestor of cows doesn't even exist any more, and cows have changed quite a bit from their ancestor.

Perhaps the school should beef up its science program. It's clear that the administrators have Gaian beliefs, and don't know squat about actual food. Or about why kids behave in certain ways.

...students and teachers sharing of meals...

I suspect that is the real reason that behavior has improved, time spent with adults.

[Amendment10]

This sounds like a good experiment. The challenge is to make the food taste good enough so that students eat it.

[beethovenfan]

How nice for them.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Congratulations for whatever they did. I don’t get it. I’d like to live in the nation’s first illegal alien free district. Now that would be something.

[ifinnegan]

Crazy wealthy libs.

They are anti-vaccine as well.

Liberals are anti-science.
