Heck, like you point out, it matters to adults too. I too was encouraged when I learned that 150 kids lined up that first day to try the 'new' salad bar. The excitement is to learn it has leveled off to around 125/day. Sounds pretty successful to me. And less waste too, for if it is getting eaten it is not being thrown away by the students, nor is the food service person having to throw out (nearly as much) uneaten salad bar items.

I love the story about the salad bar re-invention.a few weeks ago my son brought his lunch home with him after a half-day. before lunch, they'd had a school-wide assembly with a long skit about how eating junk food keeps your brain from working properly; and how you should eat healthy food and vegetables so you'll be smarter and more energetic. it was terrible irony that his lunch was an unappealing sandwich made of mystery meat (the kids never eat the sandwiches, I've observed in my visits during sandwich days), a bag of sugar-packed "fruit snacks," and a paper cup of cucumber slices. my son started eating his fruit snacks and I picked up the cucumber slices; they were so slimy and putrid and utterly spoiled I wouldn't feed them to my chickens. another day, I offered to eat the broccoli off one of Everett's classmates lunch trays and I almost gagged at the taste; I can only imagine how many refrigerated trucks that had been in. they tasted very much like coolant.if the kids had farmer's market veggies, I think they might just have a chance at liking them. it's something for us all to aspire to. I look forward to the rest of the interview! some days I am so discouraged about school food I want to quit; Marion makes change seem utterly possible, and for that I’m thrilled.
