Making Kids Healthier, One School Meal at a Time
Do you believe all children should have access to quality, nutritious school meals? We do too. That's why we work with schools, regulators, Congress and other policy makers to improve America's school meals.
Since 2012, nearly 100 percent of the nation's participating schools have complied with updated school meal standards that offer more whole grains, vegetables and fruit. One school meal at a time, we're helping kids build life-long healthy eating habits and reducing childhood obesity. If the school nutrition standards are left in place, they have the potential to decrease childhood obesity cases by more than two million by 2025.
