The FDA appropriately requires food and drugs to be
accurately labeled for ingredients and side effects, yet there are few requirements and no enforcement that schools or districts share academic performance with community or families.
As to LTFA and school lunches, I'd like to say that there really needs to be better education
for the schools / nutrition services & personnel as to what is REALLY in the foods, what has / hasn't been disclosed by manufacturers (true grasp of the food
labelling laws as currently written), and how to fully and
accurately provide all students / parents / consumers with timely and accurate
ingredient lists so that fully - informed and educated decisions can be made as to when / if student might eat the cafeteria (bfast or lunch) foods.
