They say kids won't eat their vegetables. That's the challenge facing the Los Angeles Unified School District. The second-largest school district in the country, LAUSD, serves more than 500,000 meals a day. With many families depending on the school district to help feed their kids, LAUSD is under a lot of pressure to provide healthy meals.
