The school lunch has gone through many changes over the years but one thing that has remained the same is the attempt to give children the most healthy meals possible.
Nutrition Educator with the St. Louis Dairy Council, Joyce Fikri says that the lunch tray in cafeterias has gone through several changes over the years.
Fikri also said that taking advantage of the source for local produce and other food items is not only a good way to get a nutritious meal for children, but also helps them learn about the business of farming.
Fikri says schools have even gone to alternative meals like veggie hamburgers or a build your own sandwich bar, featuring fresh meats, cheese and veggies. Fikri appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
