School cafeterias to require fruits and vegetables nationwide - The Middletown Press : Serving Middletown, CT

Beginning next school year, students across the country may be in for a shock when they purchase their lunch in the cafeteria.

..... the federal government is requiring students of all ages to buy at least one serving of fresh fruit or vegetable for lunch. Even if they toss the produce into the garbage.

Fresh fruit and vegetable portions will double next year. “Some students don’t take one now, but they will have to,” Eileen Faustich, Milford’s food services director, said Friday. “We can’t let a child go by the cashier without a fruit or vegetable on their tray.”

There’s more, a lot more, in the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act.

Next year, students can buy only nonfat flavored milk or 1 percent white milk. Half of the grains must be “whole” next year. In 2013-14, all products must be whole grain. School cafeterias must offer green and orange leafy vegetables, and drastically reduce sodium use over the next three years. Trans-fats are banned.

If a student refuses to take the fruit or vegetable, the cafeteria employees will have to charge an a la carte fee, which typically is higher because the lunch will not be reimbursable under federal guidelines.

Chicago already bans lunches brought from home, in North Carolina home lunches are inspected to be sure they meet federal guidelines.

That is dumb. Forcing kids to buy it isn't going to make them consume it.

It is amazing how much food we waste in this country. Everyday I encounter people that would kill for our "unwanted" food.

You remind me of the captain of the Titanic.

"Damn an iceberg, full speed ahead."

Any comment on the NC home school lunch inspection program?

I did in my earlier post. Can you link where all of Chicago bans lunches from home? Can you link where NC searches every lunch brought from home? If not then you're using cherry-picked examples in an attempt to make a larger point which is false

If it was from a history channel show, they would have implemented that aliens were the cause for the wreck of the Titanic.

I just watched it last night. Pretty interesting technology used during the mapping of the wreckage and reconstruction. Worth a look.

You're right about the blame, though.

I mean, the same board putting up the show trial also thought it was a good idea to have 15 lifeboats for a 45000 ton cruise liner.

Yeah, right? I think it was something like 40 boats that held 700 folks. But a lot more than that didn't make it, of course.
