Washington (CNN) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture is releasing a new proposed rule Thursday designed to strengthen school breakfast and lunch nutrition standards - part of the Obama administration's attempt to crack down on an epidemic of childhood obesity. The rule would increase the availability of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat milk milk while cutting the amount of sodium and saturated fat. It would reduce the availability of traditional school lunch staples such as pizza and french fries. Under the rule, federal minimum and maximum calorie intake guidelines would be established for the first time. Younger children would consume between 550 and 650 calories for lunch, while most high school students would consume between 750 and 850 calories. The CNN Wire Staff has the FULL STORY: "Feds to tighten school nutrition standards" |

I think this is a great idea! Kids need to not only be taught proper nutrition, they need to be fed it as well! Not only are those obesity numbers alarming, these children are probably extremely deficient in their vitamins and minerals as well. At a time when it is crucial for them to be getting their proper vitamins for growth, too many are not. I can't wait to see the benefits of this program come into play!
scaredy cats
You are ostensibly (WOD) in need of some Preparation H for the oral rash you have.
i want an all out slugfest with tazer, dave the duchebag and jerv. i can beat all of them back with my razor sharp thrash talk
I like to find people to argue with on these post boards. if anyone would like to receive a verbal thrashing please respond to this post. you will find yourself under verbal assault. i will break down your every thought and make your posts seem like infant jibberish. you will lose and i will win.
good for you. just make sure you use proper verbage and spell your words correctly. otherwise you just make us laugh. tip for the day: think before you type.
boo hoo did you tattle tell baby
I wonder what the ostensible (WOD) effect will be on the price of school lunches?
jerv is a moron. this must be a rhetorical question. i bet jerv thinks the whole world is involved in a communist conspiracy to raise school lunch costs under the guise of nutritional standards. watch out jerv the socialists are coming to get you and glen beck. buy gold and seeds and hide in your bunker until the apocolypse is over
You are an ostensible (WOD) epic waste of human tissue. Wanna be friends vap?
What is also ostensibly (WOD) missing from the article is the effect of reduced physical education classes in the public school systems across the country.
I concur.
Vap has come out to play. Let the fun begin!!!
obama is responsible for taking physical education out of public schools. he is indoctranating your stupid kids into being the fat lards they they are. it is an evil socialist plan that will bring down this glorious nation
