Since July 1, 2003, the Ravenswood City School District has relied on Sodexo USA to supply meals for their young students.  While this agreement has provided a large number of children with free and reduced price lunches, it has come at the cost of poor nutrition.  The agreement gives Sodexo a budget and allows Sodexo to keep the profits if it is under budget, but if Sodexo goes over budget the district pays extra to make up the difference.  This provides Sodexo with incentive to spend as little as possible so that they can make a profit.
