Creating a culture of future foodies

A school distric on the outskirts of Tucson is apparently creating a culture of future foiodies...just as the title says.

They somehow NEED a food truck to cruise around school grounds so the zoomers can "grab n go" rather than ya know grab and go at the cafeteria cuz that would be too boomer and not zoomer enough I suppoise. My question is "how big is the school" that they feel they need a roaming food cafeteria? I remember our HS and whilst at the time we were allowed to go off campus where we had fast food and pizza places like jack in the Box, Taco Bell etc and a Pizza jointb with a ciggerette machine our actual campus was an easy walk to the cafeteria from anywhere. Just seems unnecessary to spend money on a "food truck" when they could spend that money on the teachers or something.

Man with no children and no professional stakes in education has important thoughts about school lunches.

I’m skeptical that this is just Aramark being Aramark and gold plating their service so they can pad out their contract while claiming a pr victory for “disrupting” school lunch or whatever. And ain’t no one becoming a foodie or whatever in an industrial food situation run by Aramark.

But it sounds like the schools may have a problem with long lines and large campuses/busy students not being able to access lunch. I remember when I was in high school I skipped lunch most days and just ate a candy bar and a pop out of the vending machines because the band “class” would typically eat into the lunch period and if we did get 10 minutes or whatever to eat you couldn’t make it through the line and eat and still get to your next class.

If foodies go the way of hipsters, what will you have to fear when all your favorite monsters are extinct?!?!

Maybe Swifties?!

and who do you imagine is in charge of corportate decisiuons at amarak? most likely a millennial....hence the reason they are trying to groom zoom with the foodie culture of food trucks ( electric ones at that in order to appeal to the zoomers hate of ICE) This is the biggest conspiracy of the decade and no politician is talking about it :cop:
 
We use carts and grab and go stations to cut down on lines. Lunch doesn't "count" in terms of seat minutes (the school equivalent of billable hours) so we're bleeding resources every minute a kid wastes in the cafeteria. A food truck is a slightly post-zeitgeist sexy solution to an everywhere problem.

Don't go injecting your logic into this debo manufactured outrage thread.
 
My kids’ school district has a real chef who oversees menus for the entire district. It’s real food, with fresh organic ingredients like they serve in France and Japan. Kids love it.

When I was in school, the only thing worth eating from the cafeteria were those square pizza slices that tasted like cardboard. :old:
 
Saw this video yesterday about school lunches that were eaten in 1978. I was in school then and junk food and Coke machines were off limits during class hours. The food was really good too. After school let out for extra curricular activities we could access them. It was public school and we had a cafeteria staff that did all the cooking.

Food trucks would not have happened. In fact there was a local food truck vender then who would have loved access to campus; never happened.

The US food supply now it just full of poison. Cancer rates were reported as going up in males for prostate cancer. All the while other countries won’t import our food items or manufacturing is changed to remove the poisons but we only get the shit. Everyone says go to farmer’s markets but when I go I see many items on steroids that do not look like what we grew at home in the 60’s and 70’s. Something is being introduced to get these super grown products. It’s all jacked up.
