Nova Scotia High Schools Get Affordable Lunch

Nova Scotia’s school lunch program is expanding big time—starting this September, all 372 public high schools will offer affordable, “pay-what-you-can” meals, covering over 133,000 students. Unlike elementary schools that rely on outside vendors, most high schools will run their own kitchens, cutting costs and boosting food quality. Since launching in 2024, the program has already served 12 million meals, now rolling out reusable containers to reduce plastic waste. Next year’s menus get a tasty upgrade with chicken fried rice, ramen bowls, and salads—and portion sizes are increasing for teens. This major milestone ensures every student, from kindergarten to graduation, gets the nourishment they need to thrive. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
