Students say no to healthful lunch in Los Angeles

District is revising menu after too many kids reject lunch offerings
Dec. 19, 2011

From The Los Angeles Times: For many students, the Los Angeles Unified District's introduction of healthful school lunches has been a flop. The healthful alternatives are being rejected en masse, and participation in the school lunch program has dropped by thousands of students. Principals report massive waste, and an underground market for chips, candy, fast-food burgers and other taboo fare is thriving. In response, the district says it is revising the menu.
