CURRENT GUIDELINES SURROUNDING SCHOOL NUTRITION PROGRAMS: AN ASSESSMENT

This assessment explores the impact of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Acts of 2010 and 2011 on school nutrition programs. It evaluates whether recent changes in policies and funding have sufficiently improved children’s access to nutritious foods in schools, thereby fostering a healthier learning environment. With initiatives like MyPlate encouraging balanced diets, and the engagement of organizations like Walt Disney promoting healthy living, this report discusses the strides made and the need for clearer standards for child nutrition in schools.
