PIX11 NY LAWMAKER BLASTS NYC PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR ‘HORRIFYING’ AND ‘MOLDY’ LUNCHES Finn Hoogensen 2 hours ago NEW YORK (PIX11) – A state lawmaker put New York City Public Schools on blast for serving “horrifying” and “moldy” food items to students for lunch. State Sen. Iwen Chu, who represents southern Brooklyn, said she sent a letter to Mayor Eric Adams and Schools Chancellor David Banks criticizing the quality of lunches being served to New York City students. 8-year-old boy caught with gun at Brooklyn school: NYPD Chu said she received complaints from parents and students about school lunches. Chu shared several photos of the lunches that she said were provided by students at Brooklyn Tech High School, Staten Island Tech High School, Murrow High School and Midwood High School. “It is unacceptable to see the quality of school lunches being provided to our students. No student should be presented with moldy, unappetizing, slimy, and incomplete food options,” Chu said in a statement Monday. “As a public-school mom myself, I am appalled at the quality of food options and demand urgent action to improve school lunches.” State Sen.
