New School Year, Healthier Lunches
With the start of the new school year, children may find a few changes in school cafeteria. The American Dental Association recently supported the legislation entitled the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act in Washington which advocates more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in children's school lunches. The new dietary specifications also indicated that schools have to set specific calorie limits depending on the grades in the school (K-5, 6-8, 9-12). The act includes a gradual decline in the sodium content of the meals as well. For more information, follow the link to the ADA article below:
