Captured in a metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia primary school, this photograph depicts a scene common to school cafeterias, focusing on the lunch line operated by cafeteria custodians. Students would enter the line, and be guided by a turnstile down a buffet-style lunch counter. They would then request items to be served by custodians from a wide range of healthy food offerings, including items pictured here, such as sweet potato fries, and steamed broccoli, as well as items not pictured, in order to provide a well-rounded menu.
