And I actually suspect that the money available to schools for food may be much higher, given this post by Karen Le Billon which indicates that parents are assessed a price on a sliding scale, with the wealthiest parents paying a whopping $7 per meal. I’ve been blogging about school food for five years and if I had a franc for every time someone’s told me about the superior school meals in that country, I’d have enough money to buy every TLT reader this lunch:įrench school meals are superior to ours– quelle suprise! According to this report, the amount spent on the food in French school meals can exceed two dollars-twice what American districts are left with after overhead.

Kinda makes you proud to be an American, doesn’t it? But I do know that while Greek school kids were reportedly going hungry in 2013, over 20 million economically distressed kids in this country were being fed nutritious, federally subsidized meals every single school day. The cost has become insurmountable for some families with little or no income.” So I’m not sure who’s getting the lunch above, replete with fresh pomegranate seeds and just-picked citrus.

I don’t have answers to those questions but here are some things I do know. Were the meals modeled on public school menus? Private school menus? Are the meals depicted typical of what’s served in a given country, or did Sweetgreen cherry-pick the most appealing items? And on what basis were the elements chosen for America’s school meal? Sweetgreen says it based is photos on “some typical school meals around the world,” but it doesn’t tell us how it obtained the information underlying the photos.

Instead, all of these lunches are mock-ups created by Sweetgreen, a “fast casual” restaurant chain which also offers wellness workshops to children in various schools in the Northeast. Even some news outlets seem to have made this error. Here’s why:įirst, most people understandably but mistakenly believe these photos depict actual lunches served in actual schools.
