Description

This research book examines the complex relationship between school meal programs and the sale of competitive foods. While the USDA's National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) provide the majority of food and beverages to students, many schools also offer a la carte items through vending machines, school stores, and snack bars. This text explores how the revenue from these competitive foods supports school food services and fundraising groups. It also addresses the significant debate regarding the nutritional value of these snacks and how they impact public efforts to improve student diets and prevent obesity. This volume provides an in-depth look at the tension between school revenue needs and the nutritional standards set by initiatives like the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.
