Nutritionist compares school lunch menu to packed lunches

While some kids like a packed lunch, others prefer to buy lunch. But which is healthier?

8News had nutritionist Tami Hulcher take a look at the school lunch menu posted for Henrico County Public Schools. Hulcher said she likes that there’s more fruits and vegetables, but she didn’t like everything she saw.

“I was still seeing disease-promoting, artery-clogging, chemically-laden food,” Hulcher said.

Hulcher said she wasn’t a fan of how much fat was listed in the corn dog nuggets, the meatball sub or the meat lovers pizza, which she said is also high in sodium.
