Students at a Rhode Island school district who owe money on their lunch accounts will have the sole option of a sunflower butter and jelly sandwich until they are able to pay their balances, the district announced.
Students at a Rhode Island school district who owe money on their lunch accounts will have the sole option of a sunflower butter and jelly sandwich until they are able to pay their balances, the district announced Sunday.
Nearly 70 percent of school lunches are served for free or at a reduced price based on family income, according to the state. But some parents who commented on the announcement from Warwick Public Schools said even though they qualify for free lunches, their children still owed money because they had added something to their trays that wasn't included with the free lunch, like milk.
"A sunflower butter and jelly sandwich is really not a balanced lunch," said Nicole Silber, a pediatric nutritionist. She added that in order for children — or anyone — to get the nutrients they need, their diets need to be more varied than eating the same sandwich every day.
