NUTRITION OVERVIEW HEADER • • SECTION “Whenever I’m at home and I don’t have anything to eat, all I can access is KFC, Jack in the Box, McDonald’s, the doughnut shop right at the corner. The only place I can get healthy food is in school. I’ve realized that it shouldn’t be the only option. I should be able to get fresh and healthy food anywhere else. Every day, I come to school and I got used to eating the upgraded food in the cafeteria. I noticed that as the cafeteria food started to get more tasty, I started to eat more. It wasn’t only tasty now, it was healthy.” -Maylin Brunall, Thomas Jefferson High School Student, Los Angeles, CA GOOD FOOD PURCHASING PROGRAM • GOOD FOOD RISING 111
