Recently there has been revisions to the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and schools were required to overhaul their entire menus to provide the students with healthy and nutritious foods including fruits and vegetables. The new school lunch rules are part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 which has been implemented this fall. (Post Standard) The Hunger Act allows the USDA the opportunity to make reforms to the school lunch and breakfast programs.

In this essay i will be comparing the positive and negative effects of these recent revisions to the NSLP. I will then discuss whether or not these changes are beneficial to the children receiving the meal and whether NSLP is leaving children hungry or helping children make healthy food choices.…

That prevalence puts nearly a third of the country’s kids at early risk of a litany of diseases usually associated with adults with Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and even stroke.…
School lunches are a big part of our schools. They feed us every day and make sure we are full. They feed us food, but they don't feed us very healthy food.

If you weren’t so cheap and bought us good, tasty, and quality lunches we may have kept purchasing your lunches!…
While most people take school lunch services for granted, not many people know that schools did not originally offer food service. In 1894 some schools in Philadelphia began to offer what was known as penny lunches, which began food services within schools, thanks to local charities. Soon nine other schools in the philadelphia area began to offer penny lunches and other services. In 1909 Dr. Cheesman opened a school or girls that is given credit for taking food services out of the hands of charities and into the hands of schools. He asked the philadelphia school board to ensure that schools would provide food services that provided adequate nutrition for children, and his experiment proved successful. Soon the program spread to many other schools helping many children across philly.…

School lunches lack healthy nutrients that growing children and teens need. Because, schools lack the proper funding needed to support students with healthy lunches, students have a horrible diet.

If schools got better funding for healthier lunches it could theoretically save the government more money because the students in turn would have less health problems.…
