Food For Thought.

An interview, review, and overview by: Sam Asher, Emily Schultz, Reid Conwi, Rhiannon Serna, and Emma Harley.

The Food Experience project has basically changed the school drastically. While walking through the halls we could tell that there was a new mood set in teachers and students alike are in a more cheerful mood; and no, nobody is hungry anymore.

Changes from last year's food have been clearly distinguished. Before the experience food project there was a minority of students who ate at the school. The selection varied from rubber meat to half-baked noodles. The food was tolerable – but not something that someone would want to eat.

Within the first week of the new food program, word buzzed throughout the school and island community. Talk about the food was so frequent (and still is) that it sometimes got annoying. Every advisory we would have ended up in a debate about the food – in our normal conversations we talked about the food – in our classes we'd discuss about the food – after school we'd converse about the food.

We don't know what happened, but some how the food had become the most popular topic in the community, and our creative writing class taught by Ms. Weil decided to take up on the opportunity.

Scouring the halls, we sought after countless students and teachers; asking for their thoughts on the food program. All the responses were positive; everyone had loved the new food. A lot of people (mainly staff, like Carol Ford) had said that she, "
never at the school lunch before, and that this year was the first time I had eaten it – and now I eat it every day."

One of our librarians had a lot to say, stating that the food was, "Really great," and repeating what Carol said – she'd never eaten school lunches before this year. Various students from different grades put their input in too (but most of the answers varied from, "I really like it," to "It's good!"). It's safe to say that everyone in the school has something they would like to eat now, and it's of easy access to them.

Now we leave you to revolutionize this food experience. If we can try it, so can you!
