District digs into local lunches

Columbus City School District in Columbus, Ohio, has started a locally sourced lunch program in an effort to expose students to more local foods and give them nutritious choices, ABC reports.

The program—dubbed Ohio Days: My Plate, My State—offers students lunches made from locally sourced ingredients once a month.
