Unfortunately, most D.C. schools don't have dish-washing facilities and they use disposable Stryofoam trays. The recently-approved Healthy Schools Act here would phase those out in favor of something more eco-friendly.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041351940135831902.post-74827731112267044222010-09-11T08:08:40.815-04:002010-09-11T08:08:40.815-04:00Great site that I have been following for a while....Great site that I have been following for a while. The food looks better than the stuff served in our cafeteria. I know there are lots of issues in DC and you obviously have made progress, but what about the trays? Seems like an amazing waste of something (cardboard?). At our school, the only apparent progress is in reduction of waste. Sadly, the food has not changed. Spaghetti with soggy fries is still served in the same package but on a much smaller tray!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041351940135831902.post-15114040281944402632010-09-10T16:23:23.082-04:002010-09-10T16:23:23.082-04:00In our brand new and vastly improved lunch menu he...In our brand new and vastly improved lunch menu here in Sea Cliff, NY (posted at www.scsfood.blogspot.com) we are also getting a great alternate entree featuring hummus.

FYI, they also offer a relatively inexpensive Greek-style (strained) yogurt I use at home to stretch creamy salad dressings. I've often thought a ranch/yogurt dip would be a great asset for school lunch.Michele Hayshttp://quipstravailsandbraisedoxtails.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
