For those unfamiliar with the inner workings of the school lunch program, it is puzzling, even maddening: Why is it so hard to offer tasty, nutritious food at school? In this episode, Jane and Liz dig into the history of the school lunch program to unveil how we got to where we are today. It’s a surprisingly twisted tale involving desperate farmers, skittish military generals, shortsighted bean counters, pizza lobbyists, and a network of underground caves…filled with cheese.

And, as promised, If you'd like to follow along and find out what we'll be doing in Pressure Cooker's next act, please submit your email address at pressurecook.substack.com. Thank you, listeners, for two amazing years!
