[...] Parents is pretty good! A few pages past “Beans on Toast” was a recipe similar to my green hummus, but PINK! Fun stuff. It uses white beans and beets and sounds great. I’m liking the [...]

Absolutely. You are right. It IS all about money. But I guess the follow-up question I would ask is this: Would an extra $1 per lunch plate (a) make a big enough difference nutritionally and/or tastewise (because, frankly, who cares how many vitamins are in the canned green beans if no one’s eating them!) and (b) pay dividends in the kids’ attention span, test scores, or overall health that would make it worth taking that money away from some other part of the school budget?

It’s all about money. Sidwell Friends charges tuition and has $ to put into their food services. Public schools try to provide affordable meals for the varying economic levels. As a former FCPS teacher, I ate those school meals every single time I forgot my lunch. While there are some fresh veggies, the amount barely makes up a serving size, but mostly it’s canned vegetables. How else can they keep costs down?

Wow! Agreed, Jennifer. I’m wondering whether Arlington’s schools actually have real kitchens, or if they are mostly just these “heat-and-serve” facilities?

Great! I have had the (dis)fortune to sample APS school lunches a few times when visiting my son at Taylor Elementary last year. The food *sounds* decent, but it wasn’t good. He begged to buy lunch, and honestly, I agreed as rarely as I could as it was far too over-processed (the burgers didn’t even look edible!) The fact that APS offers Smuckers Lunchables as their pbj option is ludicrous! I’m all for organic, local, all natural, but I think APS would be well served to take baby steps away from the junk they are serving now!
