From amNew York:
“School food has long been synonymous with unappetizing meals. During my own school days, I experienced firsthand the lack of attention paid to students’ lunches. The choices were limited, the quality was questionable, and nutrition was clearly not a priority.
But having served as the Senior Executive Director of New York City’s Office of Food and Nutrition Services (OFNS) since 2018, I can confidently tell you this: New York City school meals and cafeterias have undergone a profound transformation.”
