Ann Cooper praat over schoolmaaltijden

The food served in American schools shapes children's health, learning, and even their future lifespans. With most school meals containing processed ingredients, chemicals, and almost no fresh produce, today's children face skyrocketing rates of diabetes—up to half of African-American and Hispanic students may develop it. Industrial agriculture and government policies make cheap, unhealthy food the default. Transforming school lunches into fresh, regional, and sustainable meals can reverse this trend and give kids the tools to thrive.
