Content: 4) A Public School District That Successfully Sources Health-Focused and Sustainable Foods
In 2016, the Oakland Unified School District in California partnered with the Center for Good Food Purchasing to source foods from local farms and companies that provide nutritious, minimally processed ingredients — and that follow fair-labor practices and pay employees a living wage. Over the course of two years, the school district reduced the animal products it serves by 30%. And much of the meat still served was purchased from carefully chosen pasture-raised sources. The district found that sourcing higher quality, more nutritious, more locally sourced food and preparing more meals onsite can create healthy meals students enjoy — even when working within a budget. 5) A Public School District that Eliminated Processed Food and Unhealthy Ingredients
The Berkeley Unified School District in California has eliminated: Processed food, including all hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils; High-fructose corn syrup, refined sugars, and refined flour; And chemicals, dyes, additives, and nitrates. Cafeterias are also serving local organic milk and local and/or organic fruits and vegetables as much as possible. 6) How One School in Detroit Changed School Food for the Better
School meals in Detroit, Michigan, no longer serve chicken nuggets, hot dogs, and corn dogs.
