The Broken School Lunch System

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / The Broken School Lunch System
Published: December 19, 2021 by VPR Producer

The segment below is an updated version of a story originally published at an earlier date – One Meal at a Time: Reviving the American School Lunch System.


Frozen carrots. Bruised apples. Sad-looking slices of pizza. For too long, school lunches in the U.S. have been overlooked. Highly processed foods are often quickly thrown together with a hodgepodge of unhealthy ingredients. Students deserve better. Brigaid founder Dan Giusti joins Viewpoints this week to share how he, along with hundreds of professional chefs, are redefining the school lunch landscape.


Guest Information:

  • Dan Giusti, former head chef, Noma, founder, Brigaid.
