Because I Live in the US 916

Chapter 916 – Meals

Issue.

Existing food service companies also have no choice but to accept it sensitively

“Food market?”

“How can I get into the food service industry…”

“Find out now!”

America is a country of capitalism.

Competition is common in all fields.

It’s not just fast food companies.

Snack companies are also putting their lives on the line.

‘Why a place that sells healthy food?’

Third company.

I never imagined that there would be a new competitor.

No, it is accurate to say that it was not taken into account.

In one word, American school meals are all about ‘cost savings.’

“There’s no way you can compete with us on price with decent food, right?”

Makes cheaper food.

The price also includes distribution and labor costs.

This is why school meals are simplified.

The simpler the food, the less budget it takes.

“Did you come in after doing market research?…”

“Do you think you can get a seat?”

“Quality isn’t everything. Hehe.”

That becomes competitiveness.

Extremely sweet.

Things like Launchable, Hot Pocket, and Uncrustable.

‘Do you think schools can give up this economics?’

Just give it.

There is no need for the bare minimum of cooking utensils or even a cook.

“Actually, we are receiving inquiries from parents as well. Whether or not we accept them is another matter.”

Schools.

It’s a huge piece of shit.

It’s not just that it costs less.

Management is also very easy.

Since it is a processed food with an expiration date of at least a year.

“What is the board’s reaction?”

“Of course I am against it.”

“Hehe, I thought so.”

School operation becomes easier.

All you have to do is pile it up in the warehouse and give it out every lunch hour.

‘How can I give up this advantage?’

There is no need to hire a cook.

There is no need to worry about hygiene.

All your worries disappear.

The Board of Directors welcomes you with open arms.

The snack food service was initially met with opposition.

“Especially due to budget reasons, there are no plans to implement it right now. We ask for the health of our students in the future.”

There is a reason why it took root.

There is no meal service as efficient as this.

‘As expected.’

Snack companies.

We are going to check the site.

I was worried about the reaction on SNS.

But the results are clear at a glance.

The wall of reality is not something that can be easily overcome.

“As a result of inquiries with officials, it is said that most schools have no intention of changing.”

“Except most of it?”

“It’s just a matter of time.”

Of course some.

Some people are dissatisfied with the current school meals.

I wonder if it makes sense to eat sweets.

‘Then what do you do?’

It can’t be the first time there has been controversy.

There was even a time when the first lady tried to solve it herself.

─Why Michelle Obama’s school lunch campaign failed

[Bread, vegetables, and fruit meals. Jpg]

She even ran a campaign when she was first lady

The purpose was very good…

Most public schools do not have cooking facilities

I had no choice but to serve raw vegetables as is

So, a meal like the photo above is served

Of course the kids didn’t eat it

The policy was scrapped due to mass production of food waste

└Do you think the kids will eat vegetables haha

└Korea seems to have perfect school meals

└If you try to force it to change, you will get out of trouble

└The combat rations will come out better than that ㅅㅂ

Failure.

It is structurally impossible.

It will lead to the same conclusion.

“As we run Hansik, we may have some know-how… But if we do not take into account the local situation, we are sure to suffer.”

The public education budget in the United States is secured through local taxes.

In other words, there is no money in a poor neighborhood.

Maybe it’s in some neighborhoods with a lot of middle class people.

Low-income neighborhoods cannot accept it.

“Even if some schools break away from the program, they will never be able to achieve the level of menu that is posted on social media.”

“You should drink the dripping bulgogi and cold soup. Hehe.”

“That’s terrible.”

Insufficient cook.

Lack of cooking utensils.

The quality of school meals is not good.

‘Accidents happen here and there.’

It is not managed.

It is not surprising if hygiene issues arise.

The American judicial system is strict.

You will be subject to astronomical punitive damages.

“Eventually, we will hit the wall of reality. I think we just need to be ready for a public opinion war when an accident occurs.”

Food service industry.

There is a good reason why general food companies have gone out of business.

Even American companies are shaking their heads.

There is nothing a latecomer can do.

“That’s for sure.”

“We will nip them in the bud, so they can never enter the food service industry again.”

“If only we could sway public opinion with the next Michelle Obama…”

Entering the food market.

It is not at a level that can threaten the industry.

It will end with a small happening.

Food service companies took it lightly.

* * *

The world.

It is not something that an individual can change.

No matter how unreasonable it is.

‘How huge is society?’

It is the result of the agreement of hundreds, thousands, hundreds of millions of people.

Change cannot happen easily.

“Everyone is waiting for you. People flew in from all over the United States to meet you!”

In other words, it is possible.

If many people join forces.

WaaaaaGH~!!

American school lunch.

There is no way that I am the only one who wants to improve.

Parents are more desperate.

There was a huge craze centered around SNS.

“Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much to everyone who gathered. For your keen interest in our food market’s meals.”

“”Lee Chan-wook! Lee Chan-wook! Lee Chan-wook!””

A love call was sent from the parent community.

Please expand into your region as well.

‘It’s not easy.’

We face realistic difficulties.

The places currently operating as pilot schools are in New York.

A so-called prosperous neighborhood.

These are at least middle-class families.

But most common people.

“Representative… I am from Kansas. Could you please provide meals to my neighborhood?”

Not so.

Public schools in the neighborhood also have poor facilities.

Even if meals are provided, they cannot be accepted.

There are no cooks or cooking utensils.

“Us too!”

“I’m from Ohio!”

“Do you have any plans to advance into Arizona?”

Such a reality.

You cannot overcome it alone.

This is why the current location was created.

Parent organizations were invited.

To fundamentally improve American school meals.

“I feel the same way. But this is not something I can accomplish alone. I really need your help.”

We are latecomers.

It is impossible to understand the circumstances of each region and school.

You never know when, where, or how a hole will open.

This is a way to prevent it.

WaaaaaGH~!!

Parent organizations.

We decided to do it together.

Food Market’s entry into the catering industry.

‘As much as you would eat your own child.’

There is no one who wants to manage it with sincerity.

It will help with local work.

Buzz, buzz!

This is also the reason for the invitation.

You have to try it yourself to evaluate and provide help.

“People who have only seen the photos on social media may be concerned. How can this type of diet become a daily school meal?”

Let’s go for a tasting.

Chairman.

Staff are serving each table.

Plop!

Gomtang, kimbap, dumplings.

It’s a proper meal.

But the preparation process.

“I just need to scoop up some soup and give it to you?”

“Kimbab and dumplings were processed foods.”

“It’s simpler than I thought.”

It’s not much different from fast food.

It doesn’t take any special effort.

‘Of course, it takes more work than cookies.’

Worth it.

I have enough.

I called it to show it.

“If you’re eating processed food… Doesn’t that mean it’s ultimately the same?”

One attendee pours cold water.

No, it’s just a thought in everyone’s mind.

I just said it out loud.

Starting now is important.

We need to convince them of the difference.

“I understand your concerns. Before answering, I encourage you to try it for yourself.”

Healthy meal.

Michelle Obama also tried it.

It only remained as a bad memory.

This is because the perspective of the eater was not considered.

Students also have a mouth.

Gulp!

I’m already used to it.

My tongue was pickled by the extremely irritating instant food.

“Oh, it tastes healthy?”

“I can’t believe this is processed food.”

“I knew it! I’ve always loved food from the food market.”

Are we going to feed him normal food now?

There is no way the kids will listen.

‘I don’t really listen to kids these days.’

You must eat voluntarily.

Only then can students be satisfied and sales increase.

“In Korea, there is a saying that it is worth putting together a string of beads to make it a treasure. No matter how healthy the food is, it is meaningless if the students do not eat it. We will create a school meal that kills two birds with one stone: health and taste.”

Parents too.

If we receive the support of the parties involved, everything else will happen.

Match! Match! Mate!

Clap! Clap clap clap!

Of course, it is not easy.

Performance so far.

The image that the food market has built has made this possible.

There was also support from the Korean community and Korean food enthusiasts.

Parent groups gathered around them.

‘As long as I have that.’

The world.

It is quite possible to change.

Transforming America’s foodservice industry from its foundations.

“CEO Lee Chan-wook is realistic.”

“I was worried that I might end up like Michelle Obama…”

“Anything is fine. As long as my child can eat the right food!”

Bring parents to your side.
