Thesis
The school should support food trucks during lunch.
Problem
Many students want better lunch options (look at the ala cart line, interview students), and the school can always use more funding. If the school encourages food trucks to park in the bus parking area during lunch (possibly for a fee or % of income), than it benefits the school because they gain profit, it benefits the students because they get more food options
TODO: figure out what payment system the school uses, and whether or not they could offer support to food trucks TODO: maybe bring food on presentation day for them?
Pros
- students get better lunch options
- they can get back to school earlier (help with tardies after lunch)
- school fundraisers could use the food trucks (like w/ noodles and co)
- school can get money from the thing
- supports local small businesses
- encourage students to walk around outside
Cost
Advertising
Feasibility
- It is legally defensible to restrict the sale of competitive foods on campus
- States can restrict the sale of competitive foods, Utah appears to restrict them based solely off of nutritional value
