“Jack Miniard, the school district’s director of school and community nutrition, was on hand to explain that the federal government now governs both food choices and portion sizes. Under the National School Lunch Program, participating schools must provide lunches — including free or reduced price lunches — with minimum amounts of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and whole grains. There’s a calorie cap: 850 for high school lunches, 700 for middle schools and a mere 650 calories for kids in elementary school. Students can only have one serving of meat or other protein. However, rich kids can buy a second portion each day on their own dime.”
