For Alejandro Najera, school lunch is a time to connect with friends: 'We talk about our weekends, what we're gonna do this summer-and gossip. Especially gossip.'
I didn't expect much of it,' Najera explained. 'But a while later they asked me to go to the Roundhouse in Santa Fe to try and persuade legislators.'
The bill was also going to minimize food waste by ensuring that students have enough seated lunch time, and mandating that unused school food be donated to combat hunger.
It would give schools money to source commodities from New Mexican farmers, transition to cooking from scratch, and craft culturally relevant menus with student and family input.
