I don't know how it is in other states, but in Florida, a company called Red Apple Dining owns the cafeteria. I hate this company because not only are they providing lower quality foods for profit, they do not allow anywhere else on campus to have a kitchen besides home ec, so now students can't choose to have a better option besides bringing a cold lunch to school. The school I'm working at has an old kitchen that students would use for projects or fun and now it goes unused because of Red Apple Dining establishing anti-cooking rules. Florida education sucks.
