Responsible for installing, setting up, and
repairing food processing equipment in a bakery, dairy, vegetable, and meat processing plants.
I get it that JO has brought more attention to the school
food issue, but it is so often the wrong kind of attention, the kind that seeks to blame those lowest on the
food chain — the cafeteria ladies, the local schools, the local nutrition director — for problems which are coming from the top — the criminally low Federal funding that forces schools to rely on cheap
processed food; the thicket of government regulation which must be followed no matter how senseless, and hoops which must be jumped through to get the pitifully low reimbursement; the lack of ongoing Federal funds to pay for
equipment repair or kitchen renovation, forcing schools to rely on preprocessed
food instead of scratch cooking, unless they can pass the hat locally to pay for a central kitchen to cook fresh meals.
