In 2010, Congress passed the Hunger-Free Kids Act to help ensure that every American child has access to a balanced school lunch. This is important because many children rely on schools to meet a large portion of their daily nutritional needs. Parents and pediatricians should be aware that new rules will gradually place limits on added sugars and reduce sodium, among other changes. In this episode, we talk with Cindy Long, Deputy Under Secretary for Food and Nutrition Service, about school meal standards and how they impact children. #schoollunch #nutrition #pediatrics
