UPDATE: OKEMOS - Haslett Public Schools have been reinventing their lunch menu in order to give students the opportunity to incorporate healthy and nutritious foods into their lunches

Lunch menus in all of the school buildings are currently being restructured so they are in line with dietary guidelines. This means less fried foods, lowered sodium and significantly less fat.

Haslett's Director of Food and Nutrition, Catherine Durocher said on behalf of the district, 
"We started doing things a little bit differently, changing some menus around and providing more and more fresh fruits and vegetables."




The changes in the menu were ultimately made in order to make sure that food costs are in line, that nutritional guidelines are being met and most importantly that students are getting encouraged to healthier lifestyles

.


Haslett has been in the process of redesigning the products they serve over the past few years and little by little have been pulling things off so that students don't get too upset because after all, they are the customers
.

Haslett continues to edit their lunch options and has high hopes that in the short and long run, students will lead healthier lives.
