Tag: Healthy school meals

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), effective nutrition education expands beyond the classroom, engaging children in meaningful food experiences that reach the whole school and broader community. To achieve this, schools must adopt multi-sectoral approaches that go beyond traditional information-based teaching and engage the entire community to foster lifelong healthy eating habits.

According to the School Nutrition Association, school meals must adhere to federal nutrition standards that regulate calorie content. The exact number of calories in school potatoes is not a single figure, but rather depends on the preparation method, such as mashed, roasted, or as oven-baked fries.
