Advocates are struggling to get students to eat “healthy” lunches – even if they’re free.
It’s not too hard to see why. Timothy Martinez qualifies for free lunches, but he and his classmates often skip meals and go hungry because the cafeteria food at Bronx Academy of Letters is inedible, according to DNAinfo.
“When they serve us pizza, sometimes it’s not reheated all the way and you can see the frozen pieces in the dough,” Martinez says. “It’s the same thing with the taco meat. And they serve us ices instead of juice,” referring to the liquids still being frozen.
“There’s not much taste to them,” another student, Justin Minaya, says of the sweet potato fries.
“The chicken looks too greasy. It’s just frozen food that’s been reheated. It’s not appetizing.”
For these students, it usually means a free school meal or going hungry. More often, they’re choosing the latter.
“What they are provided with is unappetizing and unsatisfying,” Sarah Camiscoli, a teacher at the school, says. “There is much more effort [on the DOE’s part] put into thinking about fine tuning the logistics of state exams rather than the logistics of nutritional needs of students on free lunch.”
