                                According to the USDA, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 prompted a new set of regulations that were implemented in the 2012-2013 school year. This legislation significantly altered school menus nationwide, sparking discussions about nutrition, cost, and palatability, fundamentally changing how school lunches were prepared and served.
