Healthy Schools

The Healthy Schools Act was enacted to ensure US public school students are receiving nutritious meals and snacks during the school day. This has been met with mixed reactions. Some welcome the new regulations, citing rising childhood obesity rates. Others think the regulations go too far, making cafeteria food all the more unappealing to students. Still others feel that the government should not dictate student diets.
