The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics believes that Healthy School Meals for All is a critical strategy for educational and health outcomes for every student in America. School cafeterias are the healthiest place to eat for all students in the United States and school meals provide a key support to children from underrepresented communities, helping to reduce racial disparities in both health and education. The Academy urges Congress to invest in Healthy School Meals for All to ensure the next generation has the nutrition they need to grow and thrive.
