In a previous post we looked at how fast food is possibly far more safe<\/a> than USDA provided school lunches. Neither are too healthy<\/a>, but fast food at least has more rigorous testing in its favor. Still, even if you ignore the fact that meat in school lunches is questionable, there are tons of other reasons<\/a> (pdf) why we need to provide better, greener, healthier school lunches for kids. Following are ways you can make sure your kids and other kids are getting the best school lunch possible.<\/p>\n

If you have the means don’t purchase USDA provided lunches (at least until they improve) – pack a healthy green lunch<\/a> instead. Many parents don’t have the means to do this though. In fact more than 30.5 million children are participants in the national free lunch program<\/a>, and so some kids and parents have no other choice which means we still all need to advocate for healthy lunches.<\/p>\n
