In a study last year, the Center for Science in the Public Interest graded the state nutrition programs. The highest grade, an A minus, was awarded to Kentucky. Twelve states were awarded B’s (New Jersey got a B, Connecticut a B minus), six states and the District of Columbia received C’s, eight states were awarded D’s (New York earned a D plus) and 23 states were graded F.
I hope that the proposed changes help make a difference in getting school-aged children to start eating healthier. I'm not sure however that schools should do a complete 180 on the health food though. I think that the menu changes should be gradually changed so that it won't be so much of a shock to the students. Healthy eating is only one part of the solution with the other being sufficient physical activity. As I've said before health education is also crucial.
