PITA PIZZA
With Meatballs or Plain
Salad Bar Veggie & Fruit Sides
Fresh Grapes
The pita pizza is made with a HFCS-free, minimal ingredient pita from Mediterranean Gyros.. It is not whole grain until they can find one that is tasty. The sauce is a Red Pack vitamin enhanced tomato sauce. The sodium at 140mg is much lower than we previously used. Here are the ingredients: Tomato Concentrate (Water, Tomato Paste), Sugar, Soybean Oil, Potassium Chloride, Onion Powder, Salt, Citric Acid, Spice, Garlic Powder, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Black Pepper, Vitamin E (DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate), Natural Flavor, Vitamin A (Retinol Palmitate). The cheese is a USDA commodity part skim mozzarella. Ingredients are cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes. The sodium is 240mg/oz - I think we use 2 ounces.
Meatballs are another story. They are processed, cooked and frozen by Tyson. Ingredients are: Ground beef (not more than 20% fat), water, bread crumbs (bleached wheat flour, salt, yeast, dextrose, and soybean oil), seasoning (salt, dehydrated onion, dehydrated celery, garlic powder, spices, soybean oil), tomato puree (tomatoes and citric acid), grated parmesan cheese [(cultured part-skim milk, salt and enzymes), cellulose powder, potassium sorbate], grated romano cheese made from cow's milk [(cultured pasteurized part-skim milk, salt and enzymes), cellulose powder, potassium sorbate]. They have 9g of fat (3 are saturated) and 450 mg of sodium. Tyson recently had another ground beef recall due to e. coli contamination although this one did not affect the school lunch market.
Go with plain and make a nice salad.

BRUNCH FOR LUNCH
Homemade Challah French Toast w/Orange Rounds
Applegate Turkey Bacon
Carrot Crunchers
Cinnamon Applesauce
Say "No" to meal declared to be "cake" for lunch by our committee's nutritionist - basically white flour bread. The syrup is basically HFCS. They are looking for an affordable maple syrup but do not have one yet - but they will be limiting the serving size this year in the meantime. Actual lunch from our schools above. This meal has a lot of sugar, simple carbohydrates -- no whole grains.
There are alternatives - check out this one, for example.
The turkey bacon is by Applegate. Here are the ingredients: Turkey (Turkey Used Never Administered Antibiotics, Growth Promotants or Animal By-products), Water, Sea Salt, Maple Sugar, Celery Juice, Onion Powder, Spices, Lactic Acid Starter Culture (not From Milk.) They promote it as nitrate-free but this NYT article indicates otherwise - and cites the company saying their products have the same level (naturally) of cancer-causing nitrates as conventional brands. Read more about nitrates here.
On the upside, there are fresh orange slices and carrots plus applesauce with cinnamon.

Weekend Reading
Reading
Read this piece in the Times on how the processed food industry has destroyed school lunch and created a nation of obese children.
Then read this piece over on Better DC School Food on the millions the food industry is spending on their 'right' to market junk food to kids.
There's a great guest post at Fed Up with School Lunch on how our early eating habits - including those in the school cafeteria - affect us later in life and what we can do to influence kids to make healthier choices.
Speaking of big food advertising, McDonald's is about to try to convince you that their food, too, is "farm fresh". Check out the Small Bites blog.
Petitions to Sign
Help the CSPI tell the FDA that we need to cut the level of salt in the nations' food supply.
Local Fun
Old Westbury House and Gardens will have craft making for kids on Saturday from 10-4 and wreath-making on Sunday at 2pm. Call for info. Our village library lends passes to this museum.
Bailey Arboretum will host a family nature adventure on Art in Nature on Sunday at 2pm.
Old Bethpage Village Restoration has this annual Candlelight Evenings this weekend.
And on the 20th next week - The Hanukkah Hoopla will take place at the Firehouse at 6:30.

TACO BAR
Seasoned Beef
or Vegetarian Rice & Beans
Lettuce, Cheese, Salsa, Sour Cream Toppings
Hard or Soft Shell

The beef used in these is USDA commodity ground chunk -- it is all beef which means it does not contain fillers but it not necessarily of any particular quality. We do season it in-house with salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne and black pepper.
The rice and beans version is a good choice - brown rice, canned black beans.
Check out our posts on reasons to eat less meat here and here.
The hard taco shells from Mission foodservice contain: whole grain corn, water, vegetable oil (one or more of the following: cottonseed oil, corn oil or palm oil), contains 2% or less of niacin, reduced iron, thiamine, mononitrate, riboflavin lime. No sodium - 6g of fat (2 of which are saturated)

All White Meat Breaded Chicken Tenders
Roasted Sweet Potato Wedge
Salad Bar Veggie Sides
Chilled Pineapple in Juice
I'm not sure I can identify which Tyson product these "tenders" are. I can give you the ingredients on a similar chikcen patty we use manufactured by Tyson and including rib meat: Boneless chicken breast with rib meat, water, salt, and natural flavor. BREADED WITH: Wheat flour, water, wheat starch, white whole wheat flour, salt, yellow corn flour, corn starch, dried onion, dried garlic, dried yeast, brown sugar, extractives of paprika, and spices. Breading set in vegetable oil. ('Set' is often a euphemism for 'flash-fried.')
You can read more about Tyson here. It's not pretty.
Sweet potato wedges sound good - trying to find out if they are just sweet potatoes. Pineapple is canned.

Applegate Hot Dog on Whole Wheat Bun
Baked Shoestring “Fries”
Cole Slaw
Fresh Fruit
The hot dogs are from Applegate Farms - so they are far better than many hot dogs but are hot dogs nonetheless. The ingredients are just: beef, water, sea salt, less than 2% of the following: celery juice, sodium lactate (from beets), lactic acid starter culture (not from milk), onion powder, spices, garlic powder, paprika. They have 6g of fat(2.5g saturated) and 380 mg of sodium. They are dairy-, casein- and gluten-free. They promote it as nitrate-free but this NYT article indicates the nitrate issue is tricky - and cites the company saying their bacon has the same level (naturally) of cancer-causing nitrates as conventional brands. You may also not want your kids growing up thinking hot dogs are a good lunch given the potential link between processed meats and cancer. The bun is whole wheat.
I have not seen the ingredients on the french fries. The other sides are all fresh.

In the process, they salvage thousands of dollars worth of good, edible food - resulting in an inspiring documentary that is equal parts entertainment, guerilla journalism and call to action.

Vegetarian Burrito available
Salsa & Tortilla Chips
Salad Bar Veggie & Fruit Sides
Actual photo above - all our lunch photos are taken in our own cafeterias. This is a popular item and we make it ourselves with real chicken.
I've had the vegetarian version at our school before and thought it was really quite good. So, you can get the vegetarian version or the chicken which uses raw, frozen unprocessed chicken. I don't think anyone needs to eat rice, a flour tortilla AND chips in a meal - but you could skip the chips (if you weren't 6 years old, anyway.) The beans are canned.. The cheese is Monterey Jack and the tortilla is white flour - not whole grain. Your choice of sides from the salad bar.
