i don't feel all *that* strongly about the question of using AI in general tbh.
but like, posting pics of your food looking like it came out of a dystopian fabricator made by FoodCorps(TM)? AI or not, that looks gross as hell and i don't want to eat at a place that thinks "yes this looks yummy!"

The other hidden nasty about tarriffs is once people have shown they will tolerate higher prices, those prices will only continue to rise.

How Do You Convince a First Grader to Like Peas? Teach Them.
One of the benefits of food education like FoodCorps or FoodPrints is the multiple exposures outside the home to different foods. Kids are getting several opportunities to try new, healthy foods, which gives them a chance to adjust to them. But there are barriers to bringing this type of education to schools. School leaders already have to fit in a lot of curriculum into the year, and some may view these hands-on nutrition classes as taking away from core classes. Ellis said school leaders that do work with FoodCorps see it as a “strategic investment,” because healthier, nourishing meals can support a student’s productivity. However, many teachers have not been trained with garden-based education, which can be another challenge to incorporating these hands-on classes. In northwest Arkansas’ Springdale School District, seven elementary schools out of the 31 in the district have FoodCorps programming, said Janet Hornberger, school health coordinator for Springdale Public Schools. “Funding is always going to be an aspect of being able to keep it or not,” Hornberger said. Ultimately the schools rely on FoodCorps funding and nutrition funding in the district’s budget. Funding Cuts Eat at Farm-to-School Programs AmeriCorps staffing was cut by about 85 percent.
