Four years ago, the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act was passed to update school nutrition standards and require more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy as part of school meals. Thanks to the hard work of school chefs and food service workers across the country, 90 percent of schools are now meeting these modern nutrition standards, and new research shows that the majority of students like the new, healthier lunches.Hmmm . . . so what does the new research show? The claim is that by end of school last year, the majority of students liked the new meals, at least to some extent. Complaint levels were down. But, shockingly, more food was being tossed in the trash. So, let me get this straight. When complaining did no good, kids simply threw the food away? And, this data shows students like school lunches?
Well, school has once again started, so let's see what kids are saying about their school lunch experience:
