Fed Up With Lunch: The School Lunch Project: How One Anonymous Teacher Revealed The Truth About School Lunches --And How We Can Change Them! (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
What are your kids eating at school? Teacher Sarah Wu decides to undertake an experiment. She would eat whatever the school cafeteria was served as part of an experiment. Little did she know it would provide for an eye-opening experience. Wu looks at the various aspects of school lunches: the ingredients that go into the food. How long children have for lunch time and recess in general. How children pay for their food (or if they bring lunches). How nutrition affects school performance. A lot of the information was just sad in how little time children have to eat (and they're more likely to go off and play anyway), what terrible nutritional value these lunches have, how they don't have time to play or hang out or basically have breaks from schoolwork, etc. Wu was astonished and amazed to find her blog that documented her lunches really hit a nerve from fellow educators, administrators, nutritionists, cooks, etc. She realized she was onto something a lot deeper than just a personal experiment. It's nothing particularly earth-shattering but I found her style interesting and engaging. She also provides resources in an appendix should the reader do more info. Interesting for anyone involved in education, nutrition, dealing with children, etc. Mrs. Q, a school teacher, decided to eat the school lunch every day for a year and blog about her experience. While I think the idea is a noble one, I'm not really sure what she accomplished at the end of the year besides fueling the conversation out there about children's nutrition. The book isn't particularly well written and the writing is somewhat disorganized, but I appreciate what Mrs. Q is trying to do.
