Are your schools doing anything beyond pizza? Once a month, once a week?
I hesitate to share this, because it’s a little depressing, funny, but depressing.
John Oliver on school lunches (NSFW):
Here’s the elementary school lunch menu for October
Generally repeats every 3-4 weeks.
Where is this (generally, obviously), that your kid has the choice of meat substitute any time there’s a meat main? Both my kids are vegetarian and of there’s a meat main, they are getting sunbutter sandwiches.
This is in MA, though, where we have universal school lunches.
I assume your school has a cafeteria then? Not the case for my school. It seems to be a struggle to get even one hot lunch going. At this point, we might not have anything set up until mid November.
The district has one central kitchen, and each school serves from steam trays and insulated cabinets.
That’s an interesting idea. Must be more efficient than individual kitchens in schools.
