From the American Association of Pedatrics' website and Health Day:
There's encouraging news about progress in U.S. schools improving the nutritional value of foods and increasing the emphasis on exercise. Conclusion: While efforts are underway, further work is needed on policy and implementation efforts in general to stem obesity and enhance children's health. Schools in our area are making substantial progress, but more work is needed to truly build lifelong healthy eating habits. Visit http://healthday.com/Article.asp?AID=631262 for specifics. Also, check articles right here on http://www.healthykids-now.com, our homepage, and in Archives (http://healthykids-now.com/archives) to find out what several of our local schools have already done.
