520 $a This study was carried out to examine the nutritional quality of elementary school student lunches in a Minnesota suburban school district. Dietary data were drawn from the Cafeteria Power Plus Study which was a four-year collaborative school based research project.
520 $a The federal Healthy Meals for Healthy Americans Act of 1994 focuses on improving the nutrient intake of children in American through implementing selected United States Dietary Guidelines (USDG's) within school lunch. In 1995, the USDA released the regulations for the Act as a part of the School Meals Initiative for Healthy Children (SMI). The purpose of this initiative was to help schools enhance the nutritional quality of their school lunch meals by making them consistent with the USDG's.
520 $a Findings from this study directly address the question of whether serving meals consistent with SMI translate into desirable consumption by those participating in school lunch, and show the need for decreased sodium in foods served through school lunch, increased fruit and vegetable intake and increased availability and consumption of whole grains.
520 $a This study's evaluation of plate waste from school lunches served to students participating in school lunch suggest good acceptance by children to eat foods with more desirable nutritional profiles. Yet study results indicate the need for strategies to reduce plate waste of vegetables for school lunch meals, plus encouraging intake of fruits and vegetables because these foods are under-consumed by children and most likely to be discarded by and un-eaten by children as plate waste.
520 $a This study also examined the nutritional quality of bag lunches brought from home compared to that of children who consumed school lunch. Although school lunches are not always ideal from a nutritional perspective, based on results from our study, it appears that they tend to be better than what parent's are providing in meals brought from home. To address this disparity parents should perhaps be encouraged to have their children participate in the school lunch program in lieu of bringing a bag lunch from home. Alternatively, parent education may be warranted to assist parents in packing more healthful lunches for their children.
