When I served on a school board in California, it was reported to me that the kids were throwing their school breakfasts away. They didn’t need them or want them.

Yes, its pretty standard to require kids to take a minimal amount of food that covers certain food groups, whether they eat it or not. The amount of food that is discarded and wasted is mind blowing.

This is what I actually observed for years doing faculty-required cafeteria duty in a Phila suburban middle school. And kids threw the juice boxes on the stairway as they left cafeteria to go to 1st period class.
