At public school lunch rooms around the country, it’s now possible to taste dishes like shrimp cocktail (with homemade cocktail sauce), grass-fed burgers with roasted potatoes, and burrito bowls with local veggies and antibiotic-free chicken.
“It looks like a baby alien!” “A space ship!” “A forest of mini Christmas trees!” Those were just a few of the remarks I heard when I arrived at Traverse Heights Elementary School in Traverse City to promote the locally grown produce being served in the cafeteria.
Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix and FoodCorps co-founder and VP of External Affairs Debra Eschmeyer think there is one major thing schools around the country need to improve upon: health education.
