January's Did You Know...SCHOOL MEALS HAVE COME A LONG WAY!

SCHOOL MEALS HAVE COME A LONG WAY!

- Today, kids are offered healthy, tasty, and appealing choices that include:
         - Fresh fruits and vegetables
         - Whole grains
         - Reduced or no trans fat
         - Fresh salads
         - Pizza with whole wheat crust, low-fat cheese, and low-sodium sauce
         - Whole grain pasta
         - Baked items rather than fried items
- School meals must meet federal nutrition guidelines that limit fat and saturated fat, contain age-appropriate portion sizes, and provide the right balance of protein, dairy, grains, fruits, and vegetables for our students!

What healthy school meals have your children told you about?
