Minnesota schools are continuing to make commitments to menu planning and using programs to help reduce the amount of food waste in its cafeterias. The Offer vs Serve program allows students to build a meal and take what they will eat, instead of taking food they may just throw away.
Shelby Tanner, Food Service Director for the Sartell-St. Stephen School District, says that students must select three of the five required food options as part of the program.
