Thousands of people responsible for feeding the nation's students are in Denver this weekend preparing for a conference on school nutrition
Their job is becoming more and more challenging amid inflation and labor and supply shortages.
“What’s really changed the most is the kids,” said Emily Hanlin, the executive director of food and nutrition services at the Cobb County School District outside Atlanta.“I think the sophistication of the palates of the kids is really the biggest change we've had,” said Halin. “It’s a complex thing,” said Hanlin. “It's so funny people are like, ‘Oh, you just feed kids.’ I'm like, ‘Well, there's a lot more to it.’” “School meal programs are at a tipping point as rising costs, persistent supply chain issues and labor shortages jeopardize their long-term sustainability,” said Lori Adkins, the president of the SNA.
On Saturday, Lopez gave the conference attendees a tour of the mobile feeding units APS uses to provide meals to kids throughout the summer.
