  9. Research Findings • In public school children in the U.S., 80% had excessive intakes of saturated fat and 92% had excessive intakes of sodium from school lunches (Clark & Fox, 2009). • Commercially pre-prepared entrées and meat/meat alternates account for more than 40% of fat and sodium (Clark & Fox, 2009). • The School Nutrition Dietary Assessment Study (SNDA-III) found that fat and saturated fat content of school lunches were high when compared to current dietary standards (Clark & Fox, 2009).

Research Findingscontinued • Research in 2004-2005 indicated that over 40% of children consumed foods that were dense and low in nutrients, provided by the school cafeteria (Fox, Gordon, Nogales, & Wilson, 2009). • Association established among elementary school children who consume subsidized school meals with increased Body Mass Index (BMI) (Fox, Dodd, Wilson, & Gleason, 2009). • Association established among middle school children and the availability of vending machines with increased BMI (Fox et al., 2009).
