PITTSBURG -- Five-year-old Renee Ruiz likes macaroni. But she also likes fruits and vegetables.
"I like oranges and the macaroni. Because macaroni tastes good," said Renee, who attends kindergarten at Marina Vista Elementary school where on a recent school day her lunch plate included orange wedges, applesauce, low-fat milk and a whole-grain all-beef corn dog. The menu also included chicken tortellini or a sloppy joe on a whole-grain bun.
