School nutrition

Our first awesome school lunch of the 14-15 year comes from Heritage Middle School-Grapevine Colleyville ISD (TX)where seasoned roasted chicken and honey wheat rolls made the serving line smell like heaven! I filled up my plate with golden sweet corn, baby carrots with a ranch drizzle, fat-free milk and fresh grapes happy new school year - make it a delicious day!

Our children deserve the best we have to offer, and I commend school nutrition employees and school nurses for giving students their best each day. They may not wear super hero capes, but they are undoubtedly real, authentic heroes.

School is back, and school lunch is being served. I had my eyes opened to the incredibly hard job of a school lunch professional... see what I found out!

Schoolchildren in Spain, Ukraine, Greece, South Korea, Brazil, France, Finland and Italy eat a remarkable array of fresh foods for lunch, unlike the UK and US trays, which are full of processed items.

Each morning, Stacey Truman grabs a black marker and writes uplifting messages on bananas for students' lunches.
