USDA Releases Proposed Rule To Improve National School Lunch And Breakfast Programs

A way to screw the kids and taxpayers in one shot. Quite efficient.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) released a proposed rule outlining the Department's plan for updating the federal nutrition standards for meals served under the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs.

The School Nutrition Association (SNA) welcomed the proposal and looks forward to fully reviewing the details and working with USDA to further improve school meals. SNA, a partner of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! campaign, represents school nutrition professionals who are providing healthier options in cafeterias, as well as food companies that are introducing more whole grain, low sodium and low fat foods.

"School nutrition programs are constantly working to provide a greater variety of fresh produce, whole grains, low-fat dairy products and healthier entrees in school cafeterias," said SNA President Nancy Rice, M.Ed., RD, LD, SNS. "By raising the bar for school mealsnationwide, these proposed standards will promote healthier lifestyles for America's schoolchildren. SNA and its members look forward to working with USDA to find ways to help all schools stretch limited food service dollars to meet each new standard and to encourage students to make more nutritious choices."

The SNA are the same folks who messed-up school meals in the first place and Michellesie "The Cow" Obama's program is idiocy.
