BOZEMAN, Mont. – Montana’s Bozeman High School is proving schools can serve students nutritious meals they’ll love without Michelle Obama’s guiding hand.
Last year, Bozeman school board members voted 5-3 to pull the high school out of the National School Lunch Program because federal regulations on calories, fat, sugar, sodium, whole grains and other nutritional elements championed by the first lady were driving students off campus for lunch, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports.
Instead of forking over their lunch money on the government-mandated goods, students instead opted to visit local fast food restaurants and gobble down gas station fare – severely impacting the district’s food service budget.
School officials realized it was financially advantageous to forgo $117,000 in federal food subsidies tied to the National School Lunch Program to draw students back into the cafeteria, and it seems they were correct.
“We’re off to a good start,” Bob Burrows, Bozeman’s food service director, told board members Monday, according to the news site.
For September, “Our traffic is way up – over 1,000 (customers a day) regularly,” he said, adding that last year “that wasn’t the case.”
Burrows attributed much of the increase traffic to a sharp spike in “extra food” sales, or anything less than the government’s definition of a full meal. Districtwide, schools took in more than $54,000 in extra food sales, mostly at the high school, equating to a 48 percent jump from the $37,000 in goods sold last year, he said.
