We need more vegan, vegetarian, and kosher school lunch options in Edina Public Schools. I have friends who are vegetarian or vegan, and they constantly struggle to get good food that they can eat. There are also some people in the district who like to keep kosher, if only on Passover like I do, and they run into these same problems. We all know that home lunch exists, but some families can't supply lunches for their kids at school. Some of the time they do not have enough money to do so, while in other instances they might have run out of time. School lunch is something many families rely on so that their kids can get enough nutrition to learn. That's why we need less chicken in our salads and more options for lunch. Kids could eat better, or even eat at all, and it only takes a few more options. Currently at South View Middle School, the only vegetarian options are however you want to make your nachos, plus a parfait when they have them (which is almost never). The only vegan option is the nachos. On top of this, only one pre-packaged sandwich, the parfaits, and one of the salads are kosher. We need more lunch options in the Edina Public School district, so that every child has the nutrition they need to learn and power through the day.
