Beyond the tray EP 2-How the Menu Was Made
Episode 2
Friday, 3 April, 2026
What ends up on a school lunch tray is the result of decades of decisions—some driven by nutrition, others by economics, policy, and scale. In Epsidoe 2 of Beyond the Tray, we trace how school meals evolved from informal, locally run programs into a national system feeding millions, and how that growth changed not just how food is served, but what gets served in the first place. From Depression-era commodity programs to modern nutrition standards, we explore the forces that continue to shape school food today. Because behind every tray is a system trying to balance competing priorities—and not always getting it right. Want to chat? Have an idea for a future episdode? Want to know more about RHI?
