School Lunch in L.A.

Hosted by

Lindsay William Ross is the co-editor at LAist.com.  LA has the second largest school district in the nation with 900 schools.  Last year they served about 69 million lunches.  There is a very low participation rate among LA high schoolers.  Only about 20-30 percent participate in the school lunch program.  The food is processed at the centralized Newman Nutrition Center, which produces 80,000 pre-plated meals a day.
