A Virginia elementary school is facing criticism after a student’s mother posted a photo of an unappetizing lunch on social media.
The image of the fish filet with a bun sitting atop of it along with a side dish of corn has quickly gone viral.
WAVY posted James Hurst Elementary School's lunch menu, which included Spicy Cajun Fish w/Brown Rice, Cold Cut Turkey Sub (w/g), Assorted Chef Salad (Croutons & Crackers), Steamed Carrots & Side Salad, Fresh Orange or Canned Fruit and 1% & Skim Milk.
The local news station contacted the school for comment. The following is Portsmouth Public School’s public statement on the matter:
We appreciate this parent’s concern about the presentation of this school lunch. Poor lighting and food presentation make this lunch unappealing. Other lunch options on the day this photo was taken included a chef’s salad and turkey sub sandwiches. The meal in this photo and other meals served by Portsmouth Public Schools meet nutritional and USDA requirements. The presentation of the meal pictured concerns us and we plan to address presentation of food items in a training session with all cafeteria managers. Our goal is to provide healthy food options that students will want to eat. We will take actions to ensure that presentation is addressed.
