If Farm to School seems a little too granola for you, Susan Nash, “Revolution Foods” is a more mainstream alternative. Revolution Foods works with the school to create a custom menu that meets your students’ particular needs. Frequent surveys of student opinions keep a constant poll on consumer’s thoughts.
This program partners with grocery stores and farms to assemble healthy meals for both students and faculty. One of these partners is Whole Foods, a well known organic grocery store. Because of its partnering with such reputable businesses, Revolution Foods always upholds the quality standards of their suppliers. They use organic and local foods whenever possible, include fruit and vegetables in every meal and serve food that is fresh, never fried or microwaveable.
As it says on their website, “Today's kids are the first generation predicted to live shorter lives than their parents”. This is one of the many reasons it is necessary to put an end to childhood obesity. The first step that can be taken to change this horrifying life-expectancy fact is to change school lunches for the better. Healthier lunches will have to be served eventually, why not make the effort now?
