It’s common for school officials and educators to periodically revisit and revise curriculum—what could be termed as “food for thought” involving what goes into a student’s mind. More recently, of course, government officials have revised guidelines for school food itself—that is, what goes into a student’s body—during the school day.
When school starts this fall, those foods that were once staples in a school vending machine will be gone. They will be replaced by selections such as sunflower butter, trail mix and gluten-free snack bars. Soon, even advertisements will seem antiquated, as they disappear from vending machines and sports scoreboards.
