Annenberg Classroom Speak Outs. Should the federal government require healthy school lunchesNov. By Jeremy Quattlebaum, Student Voices staff writer. When the U. S. Department of Agriculture USDA implemented its new guidelines for school lunches in August increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables and curbing fatty foods like French fries some complaints were expected. But in several schools across the country, full blown student boycotts have been started to protest the reduced calorie lunches. Under the new federal guidelines, portions shrank, and many students were upset. The reduction in serving sizes comes in response to USDA guidelines that aim to curb childhood obesity. The USDA, which decides whats on school cafeteria menus, has made it a priority to educate students about healthy eating habits. It was required to update its nutrition guidelines by the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2. Congress. This year youre eating lunch and youre like, Did I even eat Youre not even full, said Parsippany High School senior Derricke Dennis of Parsippany, N. J. Dennis comments have been echoed around the country, and some students are boycotting their schools lunches, bringing lunch from home instead. At Plum School District in a Pittsburgh, Pa., suburb, student Sean Doyle started Brown. Baggin. It, encouraging his fellow students to bring their lunches instead of paying 2. The guidelines require schools to serve twice as many fruits and vegetables and limit proteins and carbohydrates. The total calories for lunches had to be cut to 7. The restrictions have many students, and their stomachs, grumbling. If someone is obese, why should someone like me whos not obese have to suffer, and eat a small meal when Id rather have a bigger meal Dennis said. Government officials understand the students complaints, but they cite the growing threat of obesity as a greater concern. We understand that change is difficult, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said. Some folks love it, some folks have had questions about it, but thats to be expected when youre dealing with 3. Vilsack said snacks would help curb students hunger pangs in the afternoon. He said the Obama administration is working with school districts to set up snack programs. Kristi King, a pediatric dietitian and spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, said the increased amounts of fruits, vegetables and whole wheat should make the students feel fuller if they eat them. The foods are heavy in dietary fiber, which takes longer to digest, King said. It should be making kids fuller if they are actually consuming the whole product, King said. If children are not picking the entire meal available to them, they are obviously going to be hungry. Childhood obesity is one of the leading threats to the health of the nations students, and obese children are more likely to carry obesity into adulthood. With the nations waistline expanding, health care costs increase. A group of retired military leaders, Mission Readiness, says obesity has become a national security issue because the readiness of the U. S. military is threatened when one out of four adolescents is too obese to serve.
