Out in Las Vegas, NV, a group of elementary school students were unhappy with the amount of canned green beans that the school cafeteria was serving them and decided to take action. Led by their teacher, they wrote polite letters to the cafeteria manager, expressing how they liked the food, with the exception of the green beans. Impressed by the letter-writing campaign, the food service department for the school district sent some staff members out to the school to conduct a mini taste-test, to see what the kids liked. Unfortunately, the district can only afford to serve a limited number of veggies, so the exercise is sort of moot. But at least they listened to the kids and showed that they respected their likes and dislikes. Here's to even more kids speaking out about their vegetables!
