DURHAM, N.C.—As director of child nutrition for Durham Public Schools, James Keaten is transforming cafeterias into places where fresh fruits and vegetables are replacing junk food.
What may be surprising is that students, for the most part, love it.
Even salads offered in middle schools are being snapped up.
Keaten knows that if students don’t like the food offered, they won’t eat it. So he tries to make it tasty and interesting.
