  • Exactly 13 minutes later she was done. The chicken nuggets and the starch were gone. But the green beans? Still there in a neat pile and headed straight for the trash.
  • common since the Agriculture Department rolled out new requirements in the 2012 school year that mandated that children who were taking part in the federal lunch program choose either a fruit or vegetable with their meals.

  • Because they were forced to do it, children took fruits and vegetables -- 29 percent more in fact. But their consumption of fruits and vegetables actually went down 13 percent after the mandate took effect and, worse, they were throwing away a distressing 56 percent more than before.

  • There has been pushback from groups such as the School Nutrition Association, which argues that the meal changes mandated by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act has driven up costs and resulted in more food waste.

      Helping our cause
  • In October, the School Nutrition Association and the School Superintendents Association wrote a letter to Congress stating that school districts do not receive full reimbursement from the USDA for the increased costs associated with the new school meal standards. (The letter states that the requirements added 10 cents to the cost of a lunch and 27 cents to the cost of a breakfast, but schools were only given an additional 6 cents per lunch and no additional money for breakfasts.)

      Reason
  • It's too healthy. I try my hardest but it's not working. Reporter: Kids are bringing their own and only take vegetables and fruit when she makes them. A lot goes in the trash.

  • Food is wasted

  • children are throwing out the food instead of eating it.
  • apples and pears went from the tray to the trash untouched.
  • Schools are losing money. In other words, fewer students are buying school lunch, which decreases the amount of revenue the school generates through its lunch program.

  • I was surprised by how excited and interested students were. Students had a lot of questions for the farmer and went away with a better understanding of where apples come from or how they are grown.”

  • More than one-third of kids in America are obese or overweight

      Evidence
  • The quality of these lunches must somehow correlate to the health of America's youth
    • Emmett Sullivan
      Emmett Sullivan on 10 Mar 16
       
      This claim means that the heath of these lunches are not very good, affecting America's youth.
  • With the great risks associated with being overweight and news that diet may be just as important to mental health as it is to physical health, the state of students' nutrition should be all it takes to improve the quality of the lunch tray -- think fewer chicken nuggets and more produce. But America's got some work to do.
