School Lunch Program; An Expanding Market- School lunchrooms provide a bilhon-dollar market for food each year, according to a report published recently by the U S Department of Agriculture. The report says this maiket will glow at least 25 oeicenl in the next decade. Laigei eniollments and in creased availability of school' food services expanded the. use of foods in public schools by 56 percent between 1957 and 1962. In this period, the number of public school chil dren using school- food- serv- - ices increased about a mil lion each year. Public schools used $929 million of food in the 1962-63 school year Private schools used an additional $77 mil lion, the leport says Ovei three-quarters of the food used in school lunch rooms was purchased through commercial channels The rest was Federally donated. Public schools bought s72l' million of food in 1962-63, $216 million moie than five yeais eailiei Also, in 1962- 6‘3, private schools puichased $6O million of food from local souices The aveiage child eating in a school lunchioom was le ceiving substantially more red meat, poultry, milk and milk products in 19(12-63 than,- foimerly Also, he was eat ing a few more fiuits, vege tables and potatoes About 37 cents out of even/ dollai of puichased or donat ed food went foi milk and' milk products Meat, poultry, and fish accounted for 21' cents Fruits and vegetables took up 14 cents of each dol lar. The school market for food promises continued expansion in the future Increasing num bers of school children should' expand this market toy 25 pei- ( cent in the next decade.
