Oceanside High School Sees Tasty Results From Freshened-Up Cafeteria Menu

Oceanside (CA) High School has found an unexpected formula for cafeteria success: healthy meals served in a venue resembling an airport food court. To combat a growing wave of children who are unhealthy and overweight, the Oceanside Unified School District stopped buying processed, fatty foods from outside vendors and started making fresh lunches. The new fare is appealing to the finicky tastes of teenagers. Sales are up. The gap between what's healthy to eat and what students are actually putting on their plates has long stirred an outcry from parents and nutrition advocates.
