Change what children are being served in public schools K-12. Provide more vegetarian, vegan, dairy free, soy free food, gluten-free, whole foods for Lunches & Snacks and Water. Currently morning snacks & after school snacks are junk food, they are pop-tarts; danishes, sugary cereal in a box, candy, etc. On-site After School Programs need healthier snacks (veggies, fruit, wheat or gluten-free breads with no sugar/no fructose syrup). Ask for parent, community involvement; also try a Community Garden. Eliminate chips, candy, sugar drinks in vending machines.
Maybe monthly food orders can be paid for from students/families so cafeteria can plan and prepare.
Kids need whole & nutritious food for their growing bodies which helps with school work, tests, phys ed classes, overall health.
