I thought it was interesting because we got to ask students and faculty what they thought of the school foodand even if they ate school lunch. Our group volunteered at the Berkshire Food Project to see what other organizations consider healthy and we put food in bags to give to people who need food. We created suggestion boxes for the cafeteria.
