CLEVELAND – Saint Ignatius school in Ohio is the latest to drop the National School Lunch Program and students couldn’t be happier.

The school’s student newspaper, The Eye, reports:

Once again, the Wildcat Cafe is on the cutting edge of school lunches with the introduction brand-new options catering to students’ tastes and nutritional needs, all of which have been made available by this year’s decision to forgo involvement in the National School Lunch Program.

In a typical school cafeteria, the norm is to meet all governmental requirements and restrictions while still providing some decent food. However, Campus Dining, led by Mr. Pietravoia, has decided to go above and beyond that standard. In fact, this year, for the first time, Saint Ignatius has gone off of the federally funded National School Lunch Program, which means that campus dining is able to serve what they wish in our cafeteria without having to purchase frozen and processed products. In other words, campus dining is spending more time and money to give students better-tasting, higher quality, and healthier eats.

The article – titled, “Goodbye government, hello Chipotle bar” – quotes the campus dining director as saying, “I believe the customer has a right to make a choice.”

Numerous schools have reported that has been difficult to do, given the tight restrictions championed by First Lady Michelle Obama have been implemented by the USDA.

“We’re keeping our standards very high for local sustainability; pesticide-, hormone-, antibiotic-free products, healthy choices, and good food,” Pietravoia tells the paper.

After dropping the federal regulations, the school now provides a regular burrito bar, “made with all natural and local ingredients.”

The school has kept pizza the same size, and on traditional white crust.

While Saint Ignatius students feast on more edible meals, others are trying to do the same.

Three students in Florida launched a petition to get their school to look at opting out of the program.

They’re trying to collect the 100,000 signatures necessary to confront the agency over the federal school food policy, which they show is unnecessary and broadly unpopular with students across the country.

“We thought the other lunches were bad, but these are worse,” Carter told the St. Augustine Record.

“The bottom line is government shouldn’t be involved in what we eat,” Zach Brandvold says.

“Having the First Lady controlling what we eat is not the answer. It just means more food in the trash.”
