“The Campbell County district is opting out of the federal school lunch program, forfeiting hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funding. The reason: Kids didn’t like their healthful lunches. The 2,800-student district joins a small but growing number of school districts across the country – mostly wealthy districts who can afford to forfeit the money – who have dropped out of the federal program in the wake of stricter nutritional standards. Schools said students don’t like the unsalted potatoes, low-fat cheese or the mandatory fruits and vegetables. They throw food away or decide not to eat at all. If kids don’t buy lunch, the district loses money and has to dig into its general fund.”
