Poll: Remove Pizza, Burgers, Chicken Nuggets from School Menus
May 5/Chandler, Ariz./Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week -- A majority of Americans believe nutrition in local school meals falls far short of what children need, a new survey finds. In addition, the foods people most associate with school meals -- pizza, chicken nuggets and hamburgers -- are the same foods they believe should be cut drastically from school menus.
Moreover, the survey finds near-universal agreement that childhood obesity is a problem or crisis, and that improving the health of American children requires communities to prioritize access in schools to fresh produce and exercise.
