Food choices and eating habits are learned from many sources. The
school environment plays a significant role in teaching and
modeling health behaviors. For some children, foods consumed at
school can provide a major portion of their daily nutrient intake.
Foods and beverages consumed at school can come from two major
sources: (1) Federally funded programs that include the National
School Lunch Program (NSLP), the School Breakfast Program (SBP),
and after-school snacks and (2) competitive sources that include
vending machines, "a la carte" sales in the school cafeteria, or
school stores and snack bars. Foods and beverages sold at school
outside of the federally reimbursable school nutrition programs are
referred to as "competitive foods" because they compete with the
traditional school lunch as a nutrition source. There are important
concerns about the contribution of nutrients and total calories
from competitive foods to the daily diets of school-age children
and adolescents. Nutrition Standards for Foods in Schools offers
both reviews and recommendations about appropriate nutrition
standards and guidance for the sale, content, and consumption of
foods and beverages at school, with attention given to foods and
beverages offered in competition with federally reimbursable meals
and snacks. It is sure to be an invaluable resource to parents,
federal and state government agencies, educators and schools,
health care professionals, food manufacturers, industry trade
groups, media, and those involved in consumer advocacy. Table of
