We’d like to know how you feel about your child’s school lunch – and how those lunches vary across the country

Across the US, parents, kids, educators and public health advocates are pushing to change the multibillion-dollar school meals industry.

At the same time, public schools have to contend with government requirements for nutrition, decreases in funding, religious and dietary restrictions and parent and student opinion.

We’d like to know how you feel about your child’s school lunch – and we’d like to know how those lunches vary across the country.

If we plan to share your story, we’ll get in touch with you first.
