Students Report Remaining Hungry After Eating Revamped Lunches

USA Today (9/26, Hellmich) reports on the "push back" against new USDA school lunch guidelines from "students and teachers across the USA who say they are still hungry after eating the noon meal." The article reports on an online video parody and other online commentary, and notes that "New government nutrition standards, which went into effect this year in a bid to combat childhood obesity, require schools to serve more variety and larger portions of fruits and vegetables. And for the first time, there are limits on the calories that can be served at meals based on students' ages." The piece notes however that nutrition experts refute the notion that the new standards are not sufficient.
