The aim, she says, is not to horrify, but to equip "Young people who are upset with what they're being served with ways to make change in their school." Participants not only get to vote on whether to eat or toss the meals pictured, they also can download a kit with advice on advocating for better school lunches in their local district. The transformation to more healthful school lunches hasn't been entirely smooth for school districts. Students who submitted images also filled out a survey with questions like: How often do you toss your lunch? How nutritious were the school lunches you've eaten over the past four weeks? And how do you feel after eating your lunch? She plans to share the findings with school districts and nutrition advocates, including Let's Move, the National School Lunch Program and the National Farm to School Network, which advised her on the project.
