Desert storm left-overs to Tooele TOOELE Leftover food stuffs originally packed for Operations Opera-tions Desert Shield and Desert Storm have recently landed on the lunch plates of students in Tooele County. District Food Manager Margaret Davis said local students probably prob-ably didn't even notice the $16,000 worth of food from "Operation Desert Share" that was served last month. But the district's cost savings sav-ings is noticeable. In a real sense, the school lunch program bought 60 pounds of sugar for pennies-$1.25. "That's nothing compared to what we would have spent for that much sugar,' Davis said. Two shipments of bulk food and B-rations (packed to feed 110 soldiers) cost the district $650 plus shipping. And that beats paying full price for $16,000 worth of food, Davis said. "We thought there would be some items we would not need or would not be able to use. We were taking our chances by participating in this program and taking the food," Davis said. "But we figured even if we got small cans of soup, we could still use them in Ibapah. We have a small school out there." But when the Desert Share rations arrived, Davis found name-brand foods in large enough quantities to supply the larger elementary and secondary schools of the district. "You know how they joke on 'MASH' about how bad the food was in World War I and World War IX This is 1 nothing like that. It's good food," Davis said.
