As this book takes us on an eye-opening journey into the nation's school kitchens, Janet Poppendieck offers the first comprehensive assessment of school food in the United States. She reveals the forces that determine how lunch is served, such as the financial troubles of schools, the commercialization of childhood, and the reliance on market models.--[book cover]
