The South San Francisco Unified School District is implementing a new meal program for 8,000 students, featuring scratch cooking and cultural culinary diversity. Daisy Li's Moonstar Charitable Organization collaborates to provide traditional school lunch favorites alongside healthier alternatives. The program aims to introduce children to nutritious foods from various cultures within their community while maintaining familiar staples. Support from educators assists preschoolers in transitioning to new meal options, fostering both comfort and curiosity regarding their dietary choices.
This year, 8,000 students in a Peninsula school district will experience scratch cooking with a cultural twist as renovations occur in the central kitchen for the first time in 50 years.
Daisy Li, the founder of Moonstar Charitable Organization, provides a mix of popular school lunch favorites alongside healthy, freshly cooked alternatives aimed at enriching students' culinary experiences.
Carmen Lo emphasized the importance of providing variety that meets community needs, ensuring children are exposed to nutritious foods while also remaining comfortable with familiar staples like pizza.
With the new meal program, preschoolers are adjusting to different foods, with support from teachers encouraging them to embrace new items like purple lettuce and ground meat in fried rice.
