Dan Giusti previously worked at what has been called the best restaurant in the world, Noma, in Copenhagen. So, what is he doing at a lunch line at a New London, Conn., elementary school? Just revolutionizing the American school cafeteria menu. Giusti, the founder of the company Brigaid, hires trained chefs to make high-quality school lunches from scratch, and recently hosted a competition featuring award-winning chefs from across the country to see what meal they could create for $1.25 per student. He talks with Nancy Giles about improving classroom cuisine.

sagrammyfour Right. He turned in his world reknowned Chefs reputation at a internationally, critically acclaimed restaurant, to work off of donations and fundraises to provide better meals for school aged children.....for the paycheck. **sigh** He's not getting rich off this endeavor, however, he *IS* gaining notoriety from it, thus more people in the mainstream are coming to know his name and his cause. A very, very worthwhile cause, I might add. Nourishing small growing bodies, expanding their purview, teaching them via food, and showing them that they are indeed important and worth the effort of good food produces better learners. Better students through better food will *reduce* costs to schools. We currently spend far and away more per student with less favorable results than other countries. Poptarts at breakfast and mystery meat for lunch with ketchup as a vegetable certainly aren't helping matters. Investing in the overall health of children, like proper nutrition, reduces costs. Children with full, happy tummies, good and fresh food, powering their brains, fewer discipline issues, better attention spans, better results in school overall.

jmpriester1 I worked school food service for 17 years. Just left in October. The food is crap that we feed these kids but it's not because schools don't care. If he truly wants to make this change he needs to go higher up to the federal level. The USDA and the NSLP. They control everything and are the ones who set the standard for school nutrition programs. Most schools, especially ones with high amounts of low income families, their hands are tied and have to rely on federal and state funding for school lunch, and when that happens, the guidelines are quite strict. Right now the only way a school dist can get away with not feeding crap food to their students is to voluntarily opt out of the NSLP. But when they do that, then they lose out on all free and reduced lunch reimbursement and it then becomes a financial burden on the district to fund the food School lunches has to change. Their is nothing healthy about these lunches.

Had many, many convos with the School District's Chief Nutritionalist, clearly stating my disappointment. Pastries, sugar-loaded cereals and chocolate milk were amongst the options for breakfast. I took the School's printed lunch menu and let my son pick 1-2 lunches per week, alternating 1 and 2 between the weeks. The rest? I packed myself!! True nutrition, not white processed refined flour, high quantities of non-healthy fats, head lettuce with Ranch dressing (zero nutritional content), etc. Today?

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is Son of God who died for our sins on the cross, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless y’all!!

@Stefan Turton at the elementary school I went to in the late 80s, early 90s, was part of a small district with 4 schools total, 3 elementary and 1 middle. Our lunch ladies actually made food from scratch. They did buy canned or packaged products, but they also used fresh vegetables which many could be acquired from many of the farms in the city (we had a LOT of farmland out here, still got a lot. But nowhere near as much as back then). They made their sauces and gravies from scratch. They made fresh cookies and rolls. They made their fruit salads, macaroni salads, and potato salads. On Thanksgiving they cooked fresh whole turkeys and used parts for their gravies and carved them. Unfortunately I had to go to a middle school in a larger district because my family had moved to another part of the city. That place... that was a whole other story... a dark story...

We would get something like beef soup with peas for 1st course and roasted chicken with rice and salad or pickled vegetables for 2nd source. Occasionally we got a cookie or something. For the snack it was almost always half a jam, ham or honey-butter sandwich (with actual honey as legally you can't sell honey that is not pure) and a glass of tea with lemon and sugar.
