Yet I do think it's a problem that JO sweeps in and makes it all glamorous, fun, and financially sound when
schools, even private ones, are pinching pennies, having to educate parents and students about
healthy food, and oppressed by their
regulating agencies who make the marginal
food in the first place.
School Food Service Departments (SFSD) have been
regulated by the USDA, using the Dietary Guidelines for
Healthy Americans (DGHA) published every 5 years.
These rules, which were mandated by the
Healthy, Hunger - Free Kids Act, represent the first significant federal effort to
regulate «competitive
food,» i.e., the
foods and drinks sold to kids during the
school day through outlets such as vending machines,
school stores, cafeteria «a la carte» (snack bar) lines and
school fundraisers.
Examples include: tighter supervision and international regulation of the
food supply; an international code of
food marketing to protect children's health;
regulating food nutritional quality in
schools along with programmes to encourage
healthy food preferences; taxes on unhealthy products such as sweetened drinks and subsidies on
healthier foods for low - income families such as vouchers for fruit and vegetable boxes; and mandatory
food labelling as an incentive for industry to produce more nutritional products.
