Institute Of Medicine Recommends New Nutritional Requeriments (sic) For School Meal Programs

If these experts were so good at making recommendations for "nutritional requeriments (sic) for school meal programs," why do they need new ones? What was wrong with the old ones?

Get the point?

"The National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program should adopt a new set of nutrient targets and standards for menu planning, says a new report from the Institute of Medicine. The recommended targets and standards would update and improve the programs' abilities to meet children's nutritional needs and foster healthy eating habits.

The report's recommendations will bring school meals in line with the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans and Dietary Reference Intakes. They will limit sodium and the maximum number of calories, and encourage children to eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The programs' current nutrition standards and meal requirements are based on the 1995 Dietary Guidelines and the 1989 Recommended Dietary Allowances."

Especially since the new recommendations are based on last-century data.

Bottom lines: there are no healthy foods, there is only healthy eating and the experts are full of it.
