      This answers question number 4. Why are people getting so much food in the lunch line and then throwing it all away when half of it is not eaten?
  • Lunch that is scheduled too soon after breakfast can result in more plate waste, as can scheduling lunch too late, giving kids time to snack on other foods.

      To me, this is a big problem that schools need to fix.
