Should my children eat in the school cafeteria?

School Lunches

Review school lunch menus. According the American Dietetic Association, most schools now meet or exceed guidelines that call for no more than 30 percent of total calories from fat. Menus are posted in advance in the school, printed in newspapers or sent home with students. Allow children to participate in planning which days they'd like to buy lunch, and help them pick items with the greatest nutritional value.
