See ya, junk food. Schools to start snacking smart

 

Check these out, too...

Last year, the USDA rewrote the book on school lunches to mixed reviews. What's up next? Snacks. If you're a fan of the bag of chips-plus-a-cookie lunch, you might need a new standby, 'cause if the government has its way, it'll be out with the junk food and in with way healthier options.

According to NPR, the USDA intends to boot high-sodium and high-sugar options from vending machines, snack bars and cafeteria lines. Calorie limits will also be put in place for all food and beverages sold. Think way more apples and 100-percent fruit juice, and fewer candy bars and sodas. Important to note: The rules will not affect fundraisers like bake sales, so no worries on that front!
 
Why the change? A recent study shows that at least half of all secondary school students eat at least one snack a day, which amounts to 300 extra calories on average. Another study found that California students who snack consumer only 150 calories, possibly because the state already has limitations in place on the junk food and sugary drinks sold in schools. The idea is that capping the bad stuff will encourage kids not to eat less, but to eat healthier. And that's a life change we can definitely get behind.
 
What do you think of these new rules? Should the government be allowed to tell you what you can and can't buy at school?

The government can't tell us what to eat!!!! That wouldn't work for anyone anyway because then kids will bring extra sugary snacks from home. The cafeteria food is already bad enough, but if it's healthy, no one's gonna eat it. This is the most horrible idea ever!!!

At my highschool, we already have everything changed to healthy. We only have healthy caf food and the snacks in the vending machine are all healthy too. I actually like it. Instead of regular potato chips, they're baked and there are Welch's Gummies. Every last Friday of each month, we have Junk Food Day where the caf sells big cookies, cupcakes and gummies. It's a nice treat to have every once in a while.
