Large districts will team up to improve nutrition of school lunch

Jan. 18, 2013
Officials hope their combined influence can force the market to provide better food choices.
From The Los Angeles Times: School districts in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Miami and Orlando, Fla., plan to use their collective influence — 2.5 million daily meals served and $530 million annually spent — to make wholesome food a national standard. The districts are also aiming for more eco-friendly practices — replacing polystyrene and plastic with biodegradable trays and flatware, for instance. As such diet-related maladies as diabetes and obesity increase among children, the quest to reduce fat, sugar and sodium in school meals has gained new urgency among districts.
