School lunch programs

Recommendations:

Every school lunch program is different. To find out more about the program in your community, request menus from your child's school If the meals served are less nutritious than you would like, consider choosing two or three days a week for your child to participate and supplement with healthier brown bag lunches on the remaining days.

When you are making judgments about the school lunch programs in your community, remember that the healthiest brown bag lunches are of little benefit if they aren't eaten.
