Federal audit calls new school lunch rules a failure

Federal audit calls new school lunch rules a failure - Washington Times:

"The federal government’s changes to school lunch menus have been disastrous, causing problems for cafeterias trying to comply with the rules and leaving the menu so expensive or unpalatable that more than 1 million students have stopped buying lunch, according to a government audit released Thursday.

One school district told federal investigators that it had to add unhealthy pudding and potato chips to its menu to meet the government’s minimum calorie requirements.

Other school districts removed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from their elementary school menus.
