I agree with you on Aztec. My grandaughter was at Aztec HS last year, she is a type 1 diabetic since 9 yrs old. The carbs in the Aztec school lunches are uncalculatable. She was either so high (400-500) she was close to DKA after school or her blood sugars crashed an hour after lunch when the health aide (not nurse) gave her way too much insulin for the meal. I finally instructed her to call me when she got her lunch, describe it and we would calculate her shot and she would sneak taking it because the school required her to have the health office calculate and draw the shot. The health office never even noticed she stopped coming before lunch. We eventually packed her a lunch that we knew the carb count of and she knew what insulin was required for the food. Gave up on school food entirely.

***I agree with you on Aztec.**

Of the three schools there in the 1950s, Kirtland lunches were very good.

Farmington had so many kids we only went half a day so we got our lunch at home when we were dismissed for the day.

Aztec, beyond awful! So bad it is still burned in my memory after 58 years! Amazing.
