See Which States Serve The Most Local Food In School [PHOTO]

When I was in grade school, three significant things happened to me in the lunch room. One, I bit into a tater tot and it had a peach in it. Two, I took a big swig of milk only to find it was expired. And three, we got a salad bar! Times have changed and this is a very interesting map. I bet they don't serve tater tots in Vermont.

The map shows the most local aka "farm to table" food is served at schools in the Northeast. Kentucky falls in the 25-50 percent range. States that have less than that, Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Nevada.

I was asking my parents over the weekend what their school lunches were like. My Dad's mother and grandmother were cooks at Centertown school, so he ate basically the same thing he had at school that day. He mentioned he loved his grandmother's vegetable soup, which I'm sure was homemade. It's hard to imagine there was a world before processed foods.

What were your school lunches like?
