School food that is thrown away is not particularly nutritious either (except for the lucky hog farmer who hauls school lunch trash away). One small example: wheat saltines to go with school soup and chili. They are tasteless (since horrid salt has been removed) and they crumble to dust when when you break them, so all of them go into the trash as well.

Last Wednesday, Sasha Obama's school lunch menu was Pumpkin Sage Soup, Pear & Pomegranate Salad, Butternut & Cranberry Salad, Holiday Menu (whatever that is), Roast Beef au Jus, Tree top Casserole, Roasted Acorn Squash, Mashed Potatoes and Holiday Dessert. Can't imagine why Sidwell Friends School has taken down all but about half a dozen of their dishes.
