Maria, the taco trucks in San Antonio where you’re posting from may use lard to heat their tortillas, but El Tonayense doesn’t. It wouldn’t be the most popular truck in the city if they cooked that way. I don’t even think they use lard at all to cook. (Is lard even legal in California anymore??)

This is a poorly written, impractical ruling that ignores the fact that
a) few if any kids can even leave the school for lunch,
b) the ones who can leave don’t go to the truck, instead going to any number of restaurants or stores in the area
c) the Committee doesn’t go after the ice cream trucks that sit outside the school entrance.

It’s the board of supervisors that’s giving the wrong impression to the community, not the taco truck.

Taco trucks are not as clean as your school cafeterias. first of, the truck gives the wrong impression to this community. What’s next?, a hot dog vendor, it is not appropriate and we need boundaries. Yes, this is a school where the cafeteria may need improvement so then student shouldn’t pay the price for eating high calorie foods cooked in high fats. The tortilla is heated wiht lard!!! yes, no denying its delicious yet not a healthy option for a child. Parents need to know that what schools are offering is adequate for the child yet tacos are not the solution to the problem!! El tonayense needs to relocate to a place that is appropriate for the type of bussiness. School residence shoule not be for selling tacos or burritos. period
