For example, when I wrote my
free Guide to Getting Junk Food Out
of Your Child's Classroom and, more recently, when I researched my Civil Eats story on sugary
school breakfasts, it was surprisingly hard to find reliable added - sugar recommendations for children.
Any public
school containing these grades with a minimum enrollment
of 125 students per
school site, have a
breakfast program, and serve at least 40 %
of its lunches to
free and reduced price meals shall be eligible for a state financial supplement.
«Kids don't eat
breakfast for many reasons: they don't like to eat when they first wake up, they don't have time in the mornings, their bus arrives too late to visit the cafeteria, and those that qualify for
free and reduced price meals don't partake because
of the stigma associated with eating
breakfast at
school.

I am a 1st grade teacher in a southern state, Title I
school (95 %
free and reduced lunch) and here is the reality

Free Kids Act
of 2010.
In the coming days, I'll be sharing a few more posts to help you out: a round - up
of blogs and websites with helpful lists and recipes for healthy packed lunches; a guest blog post from Bri
of Red, Round or Green that will get you «pumped up to pack» (plus her super-creative list
of ideas for kids who need to go gluten - or grain -
free); a healthy muffin recipe from The Simply Wholesome Kitchen that can serve as a quick
breakfast, a
school lunch item or an after -
school snack; a
free lunch menu subscription give - away from MOMables, and more.
When the U.S. Congress passed the Healthy, Hunger -
Free Kids Act in 2010, it meant an overhaul

The AAP opposes the current bill in the U.S. House
of Representatives, H.R. 5003, the Improving Child Nutrition and Education Act
of 2016, because it would reduce access to

Nonetheless, I still feel there are many more troubling sources
of sugar in
school cafeterias, such as the ubiquitous, fiber -
free juice often served at

It's worth noting that these complaints tend to come from parents at
schools in which the
free / reduced lunch population is low — most
of these children are eating
breakfast at home anyway, and the inconveniences and lost instructional time seem to outweigh any benefits
of the program.
To remedy this problem, some districts, particularly those in large urban areas, have adopted universal, in - class
breakfast programs whereby all students are able to obtain and eat a
free breakfast in their classrooms at the start
of the
school day.
Here in Houston we've already implemented the same program district - wide, and for those unfamiliar with it, «in - class

school day begins.
