BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — One parent is calling for better quality food to be served to Buffalo Public School students after describing the current food as “unidentifiable.”
Phil Beavers, a leader with the Lovejoy Village Association, contacted WIVB News 4 with concerns about the quality of school lunches at Buffalo Public Schools. He said his daughter is on the free lunch program at School 366. It’s a program that many families rely on.
Beavers said a slimy looking turkey and cheese sandwich was on the menu recently at school. The other meal pictured is supposed to be meatloaf and potatoes.
Beavers said these meals are oftentimes thrown away, which results in him having to go to the school to deliver his daughter lunch.
“This is not something that the children want, the children want to see something that’s edible, appealing, and if that’s the case, if you’re just giving food that’s just meeting the federal standard, then the food is just going to be wasted anyways because the kids are going to throw it away,” he said.
