Healthier U.S. school meals boost costs: study

More stupid.
"A report from the Institute of Medicine, an arm of the National Academies, proposed updating school meal programs to meet nutritional needs and foster better eating habits, but recognized healthier, fresher ingredients would boost costs, especially at breakfast where fruit servings would increase.

'It will cost a little more,' Virginia Stallings, a professor at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and chair of the group that conducted the study, said in an interview.

'But this will be a very wise investment in children's health,' she added.

Most school food providers would need more government money to help pay for food, training and equipment, the report said."
Besides the fact that there are no "healthy" foods, there is only healthy eating, and the "little more" cost is "as much as 25 percent [breakfast] and lunch by 9 percent," it is a very dumb investment.

Even if there were healthy foods, the toxic place known popularly as "home" would continue to undo all of the effort and money spent.
