The push to improve the unhealthy food in school cafeterias

Across the United States this week and into the weekend, teachers, students and parents are holding rallies to protest education cuts. As part of state-wide protests at public schools in Nevada yesterday, dozens of students and teachers held up ‘Save our School’ placards in front of one Las Vegas school. They’re opposing plans to reduce the number of teachers and expand school class sizes to up to 45 students. An often overlooked but important ingredient of school life that’s likely to suffer from the cuts - and is already operating on a shoestring budget - is the food. In New York City, the Department of Education spends only 90 cents on each of the 860,000 meals they serve daily to school children across the city. That amount wouldn’t buy you a cup of coffee and to many students, the food it puts on the table is less than appealing.
