Book Description

Excerpt from Family Economics and Nutrition Review, 2004, Vol. 16 The food most disliked by the children was sliced beef because it seemed raw. Cheese on the sandwiches was viewed as being hard to remove if disliked, because it stuck to the bread. Bread was reported as being soggy at times; milk was reported as being outdated at times. When the children were asked what they would like to see added to the menu, they mentioned the following items: cherries chips, grapes, melon, fruit leathers, pizza, subs, granola bars, peanut butter and jelly with graham crackers, and hot meals. The children also suggested ways to improve the current menu items: pack sandwiches so they are not always squashed; be sure the milk is cold; include less cheese on everything, especially pitas; and always have dressing for vegetables. Asked for their perspective on why some children did not come to the lunch program, the children said it was too hot to walk to the site, some parents did not have the money for camps, and some children did not like the food. When asked what could be done to attract more children to the program, the children said offer better menus and have the children who come (and like it) tell their friends about it.
