School Nutrition Standards For the first time
in 15 years the federal government has overhauled school nutrition standards. The new
standards require more fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads,
and all milk to be one percent or less. But many schools in
the Sacramento region already meet, and even exceed the
standards. We'll speak with food service directors from two
area school districts to see what they serve in their lunchroom and
what they need to change to comply with the new national standard
by July 1. We'll also speak with the Nutrition Education
Administrator of the California Department of Education about what
the state needs to do to comply with the standards and what it will
cost.
