The recent changes to availability of chicken patties is directly connected with the cafeteria’s goal to provide healthier meals for the students. There was a time about seven years ago when the cafeteria attempted to change the current chicken patty for a healthier option that included more chicken muscle as opposed to various parts of the chicken. This change was boycotted by the student body, but if the school were on a federal lunch program, the chicken patty would be banned due its lack of nutrition.
“We want to find a whole muscle chicken patty, one that is made from more of the breast like Chick-Fil-A.” said Mr. Pietravoia, Director of Campus Dining. Currently the dining program is in search of a replacement chicken patty that is cost effective and healthier than the current offering. “We are trying to find a healthier product and serve more natural, healthy, and organic foods to you guys (St. Ignatius community).”
