Serving up Health School Lunches

A middle school in Berkley is making healthy lunches that kids will love a priority. School chefs emphasize making classic favorites like mac and cheese and pizza, but with a wholesome twist, making them from scratch and experimenting with low-fat options (http://www.edutopia.org/school-lunch-nutrition-berkeley-video). In addition, the school created their Edible Garden program, in which students grow their own organic produce and then learn how to prepare and eat the produce. Science, math, environment, sustainability and nutrition are just some of the subjects covered through the program.
