Pete Pizza was elected the nation's favorite school lunch by more
than 220,000 students nationwide who cast a ballot in the "Vote For
School Lunch" campaign, a celebration of the 60th anniversary of the
National School Lunch Program. Created by the nonprofit School
Nutrition Association, the "Vote For School Lunch" campaign
transformed five healthful school versions of favorite lunches into
fun, life-like candidates.
Students voted in schools and online at www.VoteForSchoolLunch.org
since late August. The national winner was announced Oct. 11 at
Parker Farms Elementary School during National School Lunch Week.
The candidates were:
- Pete Pizza: Whole-wheat crust and low-fat mozzarella cheese
