Our goal is to promote meaningful dialogue, initiate reform, and inspire a wholesome food culture in The Sea Cliff School. We view nutritious, minimally processed whole foods as essential to a developing child. We support educational and food service initiatives that foster a healthy, enjoyable relationship with food and empower learners with the tools to make food choices that promote health and well being.

What's for Lunch - Tues., 10/16
Meatball Parmigiana Hero (Order Entree #1)
or
Whole Wheat Pizza Bagel (Order Entree #2)
Cucumbers With Dip
Strawberry-Yogurt Smoothie
Go with the pizza.
For the hero, unlike our hamburgers, this "beef" is from Tyson and is a USDA commodity product (although we were allowed to opt-out of the "pink slime" meat the USDA used to ship.) The meatballs are processed, cooked and frozen by Tyson from commodity beef. 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.
The sauce is a Red Pack vitamin enhanced tomato sauce. 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.
For the bagel pizza, the same tomato sauce and cheese as above is used. The bagel is whole grain.
The smoothie will be made with either plain yogurt to which we add honey or vanilla yogurt (no honey) if we can't get plain plus 1% milk and frozen strawberries.
Plus, fresh cucumbers with a full-fat organic ranch dip.
