S&S Bakery: Bringing Lunch From Home Is Alternative to Rising School Lunch
As Many Public Schools Across the Country Are Faced With a New Federal Mandate to Provide Healthier Meal Options This School Year, Officials Are Increasing Standard Lunch Prices; S&S Bakery Explains That Packing a Nutritional Lunch Can Save Money
(firmenpresse) - SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/16/12 -- As new regulations require public schools nationwide to improve the nutritional value of foods served in cafeterias, many budget-conscious parents are learning that such initiatives come with a price. According to a recent from NBC, these changes are already apparent in many school districts, including counties in the State of Kentucky. The report states, "Districts in Fayette, Madison, Bourbon and Woodford counties are among those where students who pay full price for lunch will have to pay more. In Fayette County, the price is going up by 15 cents; in Madison County, a nickel; in Woodford, a dime; in Bourbon, a quarter at elementary schools." S&S Bakery, a San Diego company, has complied with many of these changes as enforced by the USDA in the products it delivers to many San Diego public schools.
Steven Fadick, S&S Bakery President, comments, "Schools have been asked to make healthy changes to their entire menu, including produce, proteins and grains. It's unavoidable that overall costs will rise somewhat in the short term. I personally believe that the small additional cost is worth the investment." Although S&S Bakery supports the government's decision to create healthier meals for students, the company also realizes that the cost may just be too much for parents -- especially those with multiple children.
suggests that those concerned about rising costs of school lunches should consider packing their child's lunch. This practice will not only help lower costs of daily lunches, but also helps parents stay aware of what their children are eating. Fadick adds, "Here at S&S Bakery we've done everything possible to keep costs down while schools transition to healthier lunches. We've found that quite often no additional cost premium is required for healthy, whole wheat bread and buns."
With such observations in mind, S&S Bakery notes that parents can create a variety of healthy sandwiches on bread products that are affordable, yet still nutritionally adequate. In addition, the company notes its products' success among younger children who are often considered "picky eaters." Schools that have used S&S Bakery products with updated health requirements have found no complaints from the student body; the same trend has also been observed among families who opt to integrate such products into their routine diets.
