Because what kid doesn’t love brussel sprouts?
Via EAG news:
Students like eating brussel sprouts. No really they do – at least according to Donegal, Pennsylvania school officials.
They insist kids like the new school lunch menu changes inspired by First Lady Michelle Obama, which reportedly include pumpkin parfaits and fresh roasted brussel sprouts.
But April Hershey, superintendent in the nearby Warwick district, admitted all is not well.
“We struggle with continued mandates that limit what we know to be best practices for our students,” she told Lancaster Online.
Despite claiming to know better than the Washington, D.C bureaucrats handing down those mandates, Hershey’s district has no plans to drop out of the National School Lunch Program.
An equally dire warning was reported from Cocalico School District superintendent Bruce Sensenig.
District officials “are on the edge of actually pricing ourselves out of business. We cannot raise our prices enough to pay for what is required by the mandates to in turn serve what is legally considered ‘good’ foods,” he says.
