In 2008,the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA)wanted to know if all the school lun-chesserved to students were healthy.The answer was a bi9,fat NO!
The USDA found that most American schools served lunches with too much fat and salt.They also foundthat most of the fruits and vegetables in the lunches came from cans(罐头).Canned fruits and vege—tables are not asgood as fresh ones.
The USDA gives schools food and money to make lunches.But schools make up their own menus.Some makehealthy lunches.Most do not.Now the USDA wants all schools to serve more healthy lunches.They want schools tofollow the USDA’s guidelines for balanced(均衡)meals.
Mike Sanders,in charge of the USDA in 2008,said the USDA should teach school workers how to makehealthier lunches.“A good school lunch is just as important as a good textbook,”Sanders said.He said that childrenalso need to learn about healthy foods.
The USDA is working on a new program--Fresh Start.It will give schools more fresh fruits and vegeta-bles.FreshStart will also help schools change their lunches to make them healthier.To find the best way to change lunches,theUSDA held meetings with parents,school leaders,doctors,and cooks.
