School Lunches More Nutritious Than Home-Packed lunches: Study

 

Why School Lunch?

Balanced nutrition throughout the day contributes to student success in and out of the classroom. Research demonstrates that school meal programs play an important role in supporting obesity prevention, overall student health and academic achievement by improving children’s diets and combating hunger.  Nearly 30 million students each school lunch everyday across America.

Every School Lunch Includes Five Great Choices:

Milk – Fat free or 1% - flavored or regular

Vegetables – From salad to fresh carrot sticks - lots of choices daily

Fruit – Everything from frozen berries to locally grown apples; often fresh

Grains – All grains served are at least 51% whole grain

Meat or meat alternate –White meat chicken, bean chili, lean beef

More than Just Lunch

One in six, children in America live in households without consistent access to adequate food. Every Monday morning, school nutrition professionals witness this hunger on the faces of students eagerly waiting in line for a school breakfast after a long weekend without enough to eat.

Armed with scientific research linking school meals and healthy diets to academic success, school nutrition professionals have worked to expand breakfast programs, launch summer and after school meal programs to meet students’ nutritional needs.

School Nutrition Standards

School meals are healthy meals that are required to meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. To receive federal reimbursements, school meal programs must offer “reimbursable” meals that meet strict federal nutrition standards. These standards, also referred to as “the meal pattern,” require schools to offer students the right balance of fruits, vegetables, low-fat or fat-free milk, whole grains and lean protein with every meal.
