That's a lot of eggs

Just looking over the LAUSD board agenda for tomorrow's meeting ... and purchase orders for food items caught my eye. Must be lunch time.

One order is for $473,580 to pay for 16,059 cases of hard-boiled eggs per year from Minnesota-based Cargill Kitchen Solutions. At 144 eggs per case, that's about 2.3 million eggs. Wow.

Of course, with LAUSD's almost 700,000 students, that averages out to just over 3 eggs per student per year. Maybe they're not a favorite snack among the K-12 set.

There's also a contract to provide ranch dip dressing - 45,375 cases per year, with 100 portions per case. That'll cost LAUSD $860,855.

There are also orders for "Asian brown sauce," frozen breakfast burritos, frozen toasted cheese sandwiches (oh, they're frozen? no wonder they're so tasty), etc.

Fascinating, seriously.
