The Kansas City Academy offers kids in grades 6-12 foods like pizza with whole-wheat crust, hormone-free cheese and organic toppings. The program, called Bistro Kids' Farm 2 School aims to replace basic, high-fat cafeteria fare like cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets with natural, locally grown food, such as free-range meats.
