School food

What does this country feed its kids?

Now
A scored recipe exists: a chia, oat, hemp and plant yogurt bowl measured on 11/10/2026 against a protein and calorie target, with every ingredient sourced to USDA or the label. No school has been approached.
After
One pilot school serves a chia overnight oats cup for four weeks and the plate waste, participation and taste vote are published. Then the campaign.

Why it matters

Healthier defaults for children.

What it takes

  1. Recipe locked to the school breakfast pattern: a grain, a fruit and a milk alternative in one cup, about 350 kcal, 12 to 15 g protein, 8 g fibre, under 10 g added sugar. Chia is hydrated overnight, never served dry.
  2. Cost per cup under the breakfast reimbursement rate, which means roughly 0.90 to 1.30 dollars in bulk before labour.
  3. Allergen pass: soy or oat yogurt, no nuts.
  4. One pilot school, four weeks, measured: plate waste weighed before and after, participation rate, a one line taste vote.
  5. The pilot data and the recipe card are the campaign. Nothing publishes before them.

The bowl, scored

I measured my morning bowl against my protein target. The seeds are omega-3 and fibre foods, not protein foods, and I had cut the wrong ingredient.
