This book delves into the heated political battles over what kids eat at school, shedding light onto how policymakers craft food policy for schools. The book takes readers inside schools, through the history of school food programs in the United States and England, and into the policy terrain that makes school lunch difficult to change. Through diverse case studies-hungry linebackers, pink slime, English reality television and policy making, pizza as a vegetable, lunch shaming, and more-chapters provide detailed analysis of rhetorical tactics, arguments over, and policy for school feeding.
