Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act
Balancing Calories:

Make at least half of your grains whole grain
Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk
Foods to Reduce:

The Child Nutrition Program will begin utilizing the USDA MyPlate to help educate children about healthy eating habits by teaching them what goes on their plate at every meal.
BGISD school lunches meet additional standards requiring
Age-appropriate calorie limits
Larger servings of vegetables and fruits
A wider variety of vegetables (including dark green and red/orange vegetables)
Fat-free & 1% milk
More whole grains
Less sodium
The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act contains many provisions that help improve child nutrition programs and make meals and offerings more nutritious. Bowling Green City Schools Child Nutrition Program is serving school meals that meet these challenging new federal nutrition standards, ensuring that meals are healthy and well balanced, providing students with all of the nutrition that they need to succeed in school. School meals offer students milk, fruits and vegetables, proteins/meats, and bread/grains and meet strict limits for saturated fat and portion size.
Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program
The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) offers free fresh fruits and vegetables to students during the school day, outside of lunch and breakfast periods. FFVP targets elementary schools with the highest percentages of children certified for free and reduced price benefits. The goal of the FFVP is to improve children’s overall diets and create healthier eating habits to impact their present and future health.
It will help schools create healthier school environments by providing healthier food choices, expanding the variety of fruits and vegetables children experience, and increasing children’s fruit and vegetable consumption.
