There was an article in the local paper about the school systems students not eating and throwing away huge amounts of food. One of the cooks was interviewed and she said it broke her heart knowing that what she was being forced to cook and serve tasted awful with all of Moochelles rules and regs.
She went on to say I know how to cook good food, but with these rules my hands are tied.
The article went on to mention that the school districts garbage bill had increased quiet a bit with most of it being trashed, un-eaten food.
My youngest son said in the past they were allowed to pick what they wanted on their trays, no longer you are required to take everything. He says the kids pick through it and eat what is edible and trash the rest.
I have no doubt about that at all. I HATE waste of any kind. It’s just not in my nature to waste food, resources, money, time, etc.
Except on FR - I’ll ‘spend’ (not waste!) time on FR, LOL!
