Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act

Over 30 million kids and teens go through school cafeteria lines every day in America and due to the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which took effect in 2012. They are no longer served good greasy pizza, salty French fries as well as sauced up chicken wings. Meals now a days must be low in fat,low in calories and sodium also must contain lean proteins, fruits and vegetables along with whole grains. Students from coast to coast are not liking the change.Food and nutrition directors at school districts nationwide are saying “that their trash cans are overflowing while their cash register receipts are diminishing” as children either throw away the healthier meals or bring lunch from home. While no one can argue that the solution is to get rid of the law and go back to feeding children unhealthy yet good food.
