Trouble has been that there aren't many kickbacks using local suppliers. One of the main reasons only the BIG companies are awarded the contracts. It's been that way in virtually all the school districts for way too long.

My husband actually attended a one-room school house from 1st -3rd grade where the parents cooked the lunches for the kids. Most of the food was from their gardens--much healthier. They also had an outhouse! This was in the early '60's.

Glad to see a return to what is best for the kids & not some company's income statement.
