New for lunch: Healthy meals at school
When the lunch bell rings at local schools, halls are filled with students rushing to be the first in line for whatever is on the menu. But now, instead of sweet snacks and pre-packaged meals, students are offered low-calorie, high-nutrition dishes.
New rules placed caps on calorie counts, require schools to offer fresh fruits and vegetables, and reduce sodium and trans-fat levels. The question now is: are the students eating?
