CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — School lunch has a bad reputation. “There’s a perception that the food is not good and that it’s not cool to eat school lunch,” registered dietitian Brittany Garcia said. Garcia is the nutritional coordinator for the Flour Bluff Independent School District. She takes pictures of the school’s daily menu and posts them on social media. “Steak fingers, broccoli, mashed potatoes, apple sauce and a roll,” she said.
