<p>Which schools have the best and worst meals? The healthiest and most junk? Why? :)</p>
<p>I actually found it suprising that most schools offered junk food to kids all day long, yet kids were still generally thin. I think it has t do with becoming independant at bs</p>
<p>Mandatory sports participation & lots of walking on big campuses definitely helps kids keep in shape.</p>
<p>I heard that the food at Lawrenceville is very cafeteria-style.</p>
<p>The food at Andover is apparently very good. At Exeter the kids all made the joke “its good, but not home-cooking” so I think its just OK. at Hotchkiss its apprently amazing. I havent heard anything about choate and deerfield specifically, which probably means it not too shabby</p>
<p>Cate uses local organic produce and offers a broad variety of food choice. It’s healthy and delicious. The Pacific Ocean view from the dining room is a bonus.</p>
<p>Exeter’s food is usually very good, but sometimes they go a little overboard with the exotic foreign foods. No I do not want to try bright orange ethiopian stew, thank you…</p>
<p>St. Paul’s and Andover both had good food when i visited.</p>
<p>Aw, I love Ethiopian food!</p>
<p>I love exotic foreign food!!!</p>
<p>Does anyone know about the food at Loomis, Peddie, Milton, Choate or Brooks? Thanks</p>
<p>Choate’s food was great, like you would actually want it. Exeter’s is “good but not home cooking”.</p>
<p>NMH has excellent food. Lot’s of variety and several different entrees each night. Soups, large salad bar, including an Asian bar, sandwich bar, panini maker, pasta and pizza are available every evening. A lot of the food is organically grown locally. They make all of their own baked goods from scratch daily (the desserts and breads are amazing). They send cream and milk from their own cows to a local gourmet ice cream shop for their ice cream. In season, they have cider from their own presses and real maple syrup. We make sure to eat there every time we visit!</p>
<p>The food at St. Paul’s is quite good, You can view their weekly menu by going here: [The</a> Pelican Online](<a href=“http://spspelican.com/]The”>http://spspelican.com/) and clicking on “Upper Menu” on the top right side. Usually the second page has nutrition tips and information. As I posted on The St. Paul’s School thread last week, all the students seemed to be focused on food (post #1832), with chapel reports on on Southern Food, live music at “Grab & Go” and a Top Chef competition. What is it about teens and food?</p>
<p>Maybe it’s because it is all boarding and there is no day students to take them away to enjoy some “good ole fashioned home cooking”</p>
<p>At SPS, advisors and other faculty are fairly generous about providing occasional home cooking - an advantage to having all faculty live on campus.</p>
<p>Southern California’s Cate and Thacher enjoy proximity to the largest agricultural region in the U.S. At Thacher, there is an abundance of fresh fruits and vegtables, incredibly delicious food in the cafeteria all around. These kids eat so well. </p>
<p>We thought we had seen the best Farmer’s Market in the U.S. in Philadelphia (Reading Terminal), but our eyes were opened when we wandered the Farmer’s Market in Ojai (Thacher’s home town). I’ve never seen an array of such vibrant colored, fresh produce in my life.</p>
