CSSA participants recognized good nutrition as a component of physical health and prided themselves on the fact that they consumed nutritious food. Thinking the matter one of general community interest, a newspaper reporter described how the school provided students "good wholesome meals." [1] Yearbook writers stated with pride the fact that animals raised on the campus helped provide "wholesome food well prepared" and the whole milk that was available at every meal. Those responsible for food preparation believed that "nothing [was] better for boys and girls of high school and college age than pure milk." Each yearbook provided a sample menu as proof of the high-quality meal program, and Presidents used information about the school’s high quality meal program to facilitate recruitment efforts. [2]
