TUCSON – As her second-grade students take out their lunches, teacher Leticia Moreno quickly spots two with forbidden food – a burrito and quesadilla made with white flour tortillas.
“I will get them peanut butter and honey on whole wheat,” Moreno says, taking away the offending meals.
Moreno is a teacher at the Children’s Success Academy, a 10-year-old school on Tucson’s south side for children in kindergarten through the fifth grade. The school is unique for its food rules – it bans not only white flour, but refined sugar and anything it defines as processed food.
