9.D.13) Invest in professional staff and facilities for fresh food preparation

Many schools have hired food service corporations as a cost-cutting measure; much of the saving is realized through elimination of senior employees, and by transferring the food service jobs from the public sector (school system employees) to private sector.  New employees are low-skill, low-wage workers; cost-cutting is achieved through greater purchase of pre-prepared foods; very little food preparation done by food service company employees. 

13.a    Massachusetts School Building Authority should require facilities for fresh food preparation in new schools
