HISTORY OF THE ISSUE

Here are some examples of the past and what the school district has done to the system to either worsen or try to fix the problem.

In April of 2011 there were many moms who were having similar feelings about the foods that their children were eating. So they took action! They send out petitions and were able to get the attention of people high up in the school district and even got menu changes! They were also on the Channel 6 news. Here is the link to see more of the report.

In 2008 The Philadelphia Notebook, brought up the cold truth about most of the food in public schools. Parents were even getting complaints from their children about head and stomachaches. Soon enough there was a huge federal recall from the beef delivered to the school district.

Being called out on things like mystery meat and surgery milks, this 2012 school year will be a step in the right direction. Kern Halls used to work in Disney world. Making food that were good for kids but food that they liked, along with being good for them! He pitched many ideas to the trustees of food service department all around the country and got Philly on board!
