Is it healthier to bring your lunch from home or eat at school?

By: Shaely J

Many kids only eat half of their meals from school

The food from school may be the only meals kids eat a day

•In 2010 Obama signed a law called the Healthy Hunger Free the Kids Act

The law went in to act during the year of 2012

•Serving healthier foods is impacting 100,000 schools across the country !!!!

Since 1998, the government has been trying to consider healthier lunches

2011 2012Kids taking vegetables

68% 68%Amount eaten 25% 41%Kids taking fruits 53% 76%Amount eaten 58% 55%Participation 31.8 million 30.7 million

I have answered my question!!

It is healthier to eat at school than bring your lunch from home you may not like school lunches but there the best for you !!!!!
