Not any healthier, IMO. At least the food was made somewhat made from
scratch in my day. Canned vegetables, fruit and pudding. There was Jell-O,
ick. Potatoes were likely instant. We did have Wiener Winks. A hot dog
wrapped in dough. Also ick. Fish sticks on Fri. Those likely came frozen.
The Chow Mein might have come from a can. I don't think the rice was
instant. I didn't like most of the meals but I did like the hamburger gravy
over mashed potatoes. Also the tacos. Those were crisp taco shells filled
with refried beans and baked. The end result was anything but crisp.

Now? Here's the menu:

I see that yogurt lunch is available almost daily. It's likely a sweetened
yogurt with a bit of fruit and some sickly sweet granola. How convenient for
them! Or maybe not as there is a yogurt parfait listed. What I don't see is
very many veggies listed. In my day at least we always got veggies. At least
they have refrained from the breakfast for lunch which was often a waffle or
pancake on a stick.
