Students taste test new school menu By GALYN CHATMAN newsroom@appenmedia.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga — More than 160 students from schools across Fulton County took part in Fulton County Schools’ eighth annual Student Choice Food Challenge Feb. 13. The event asked elementary, middle and high school students from across the district to sample and score an array of recipes ranging from comfort foods like buffalo chicken pasta and cheesy enchilada bake, to more bold options like Moroccan chicken. Each delegation of students used iPads at each food station to evaluate
recipes based on taste, texture, and overall appeal, providing valuable feedback that will influence meals featured in school cafeterias next year. The challenge is part of a broader effort by Fulton County Schools to engage students in decisions regarding their health and well-being. By involving them in the selection process, the district aims to ensure that school meals not only meet nutritional standards but reflect the preferences of the community they serve. It’s an approach organizers hope empowers students. Reggie Sloan, Fulton County Schools district chef, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative.
“I get a lot of inspiration getting feedback from the kids,” Sloan said. “Food’s not like it was when I was growing up. We can use fresher ingredients straight from the farm.” His comments highlight the shift toward incorporating fresher, locally sourced ingredients into school meals, a move that enhances the nutritional value of the food while supporting local agriculture. Sloan said more focus on student satisfaction is crucial, because it can impact their willingness to eat school lunches, which are often a primary source of nutrition for many students.
