Food Waste - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Elementary schools waste more food than upper grades.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Elementary schools tend to waste more food than upper grades due to various reasons. Younger children may be more likely to take more food than they can eat, leading to more leftovers. They may also be less aware of the importance of not wasting food and may not have developed good eating habits yet. Additionally, younger children may have more limited food preferences and may be less likely to eat certain types of food, resulting in more waste. Therefore, it is likely that elementary schools waste more food than upper grades.

    What are the foods most wasted in schools.

    • Main Dish

    • Fruit

    • Vegetables

    Correct Answer
    A. Vegetables
    Explanation
    Vegetables are the foods most wasted in schools because they are often seen as less appealing to children compared to main dishes or fruits. Many students tend to throw away or leave untouched their vegetable servings, resulting in a higher amount of vegetable waste. This could be due to factors such as taste preferences, lack of familiarity with certain vegetables, or simply a lack of interest in eating them.

By doing so, NSLP is not only reducing waste but also generating revenue, which can be reinvested in the program to provide better meals and resources for students.
