Simple, Good, and Tasty covers school lunches in Minneapolis. I thought this series looked interesting. If the school lunch program is indeed as thrifty as they make it out to be, then perhaps they should teach some of their magic to the REST of the administrators.
I am glad that the kids in schools are now getting whole-muscle, non-breaded chicken fillets, but I did have to wonder why the district couldn't use up their existing inventory before declaring breaded formed chicken fillets verboten. Seems silly to just keep "boxes" around indefinitely in a freezer, "lining the walls of the distribution center." I doubt it would hurt the kids to eat a few more chicken patties before switching over.
