Best Salad Bar Around

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The eternal struggle between parents and kids is trying to get kids to eat a healthy meal. The opposite has happened in Point Pleasant.
Kids can't get enough of the nationally recognized salad bar at the grade school there.
“I like the cucumbers, I like the cheese, and I like the apples,” fourth grader Leah Keller said.
“I guess I just wanted to eat a salad,” fourth grader Seth Morgan said.
This isn't an ordinary salad bar at the Point Pleasant Intermediate School. According to the USDA after their last visit, it's the best.
It’s amazing is how fast these kids gobble the greens down. The busy lunch ladies have to stock the two salad bars constantly.
“There are a lot of things offered on the salad bar that when I was their age I just wasn't offered these things,” fourth grade teacher Crystal Love said.
They’re eating good, eating lots and eating healthy, which are components that make the PPIS salad bar the best around.
The principal at Point Pleasant, Paul Ashby, says the salad bar is endless as long as the students pay for the lunch.
He says they take full advantage of that and they rarely have left-overs.

This is so misleading- Yes the salad bar is nice and diverse but the rest of the menu is so pathetic that most kids don't eat. I am the first to admit that kids should eat more healthy but not every child likes yogurt and cranberries or salad out of bag that is 90% water.The other options are cheap fish on a wheat bun and spinach or Hotdogs and sweet potatoes . No salt, One Ketchup, Zero other Condiments. Now we have young kids stocking up on packets from Wendys and McDonalds to barter sell or trade before lunch. School Lunch can be Healthy and still taste good

I don't think it's the case here!I hope they don't leave any child out that wants salad, even if they can't pay! That would be SO CRUEL! I remember some students that could not pay or even bring a lunch, that were hungry,left the lunch rooms! I thought that was cruel and an awful thing to do! Some of them were ashamed, and afriad that the cooks or teachers would say something out loud,which some did! Some words should be said in private! No child should be left out!
