Participating chefs made school lunches for students from scratch, but the program was shelved because some of the meals did not line up with federally mandated nutrition requirements.

Now some city leaders are urging the Department of Education to reactivate the program within the bounds of what the USDA says students should be served.

So we want to know: what do you think of the idea? Should schools be a place where healthy eating habits are taught by example? Or should the Department of Education concern itself with teachers first and kitchen staff later?
