NJ High School Students Are Planning A Cafeteria Boycott Over Reduced Portion Sizes « CBS New York
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (CBSNewYork) Students at Parsippany Hills High School held a strategy session on Thursday to discuss a potential lunch strike, on Friday, over what they have called inadequately sized meals.
This year youre eating lunch and youre like Did I even eat? Youre not even full, senior Brandon Faris told CBS 2′s Derricke Dennis.
New federal guidelines stemming from first lady Michelle Obamas Lets Move campaign have resulted in limits on protein and bread, and an increase in vegetables and fruits. The changes have also come at an increased cost.
All of it has also sparked a student campaign that has included online parody videos of students falling sleep in class and performing sluggishly in sports.
They hope to further their efforts with a cafeteria boycott that will cost the school money, and students like Faris said they want to know why they are paying the price for other peoples problems.
