When it comes to school food…
Posted on | February 10, 2010 | No Comments
A picture really is worth a thousand words. Ever since I became involved with SF school lunch advocacy, I’ve been scheming to figure out a way to visually tell our story. To create first-hand visual narratives about what SFUSD students eat on a daily basis, about the challenges cafeteria workers face, and about the small successes emerging at schools where changes are being implemented like Balboa High School. In the meantime, as those plans develop, here are two compelling blogs that do a really nice job bringing to life images of school food.
The first, Fed Up: School Lunch Project, is a personal account of an Illinois teacher’s experiences as she eats school lunch on a daily basis in 2010. The year is still young but already, her chronicles are compelling, and the photos very worthwhile to peruse.
American Lunch Room is another blog dedicated to the visual representation of schools meals. Though this is also a relatively new effort, started in summer 2009, it is building an important archive of both unappetizing and pleasing school lunches. No submissions of SFUSD are on the site as of yet but the lone California representative – a Berkeley lunch of chicken tacos – does look delicious.
