(Health-NewsWire.Net, August 27, 2015 ) Las Vegas, NV -- According to a report published in the New York Times, a national poll reveals that more than 80 percent of Americans support healthy school dishes consisting of more vegetables and fruit and less high calorie and salt food options, requirements described in the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, a law that authorized the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to set nutritional standards for food offered and distributed in schools and broadened access to healthy lunch to more than 115,000 U.S. youngsters.
The survey, conducted by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, debunks the main argument versus the Hunger-Free Kids Act, a policy at the heart of First Lady Michelle Obama's effort to deal with the question of youth weight problems. Two-thirds of participants rated the nutritional quality of snack bar food as excellent or great. Furthermore, more than 90 percent of those questioned said it's somewhat or very important to serve nutritious foods in schools and enhance children's cognitive abilities. The New York Times has actually quoted La June Montgomery Tabron, president and chief executive of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, as stating: "Our study discovered that individuals in the U.S. overwhelmingly support strong nutrition requirements, while also believing that school meals should be healthier."
Last year, researchers at Ohio State University found that a high consumption of junk food for kids was commonly brimming with salt and sugar and low in calcium, iron, Vitamin C, and zinc, which could cause amnesia as well as slowing down a child's natural cognitive development. Rates of childhood obesity have actually more than doubled in the last three decades, bringing with it additional cases of cancer and increased hospitalization expenses.
A nutritious breakfast and an hour of exercise have been proven to enhance the brain's functions, however some parents are not taking these words to heart: 90 percent of homemade school lunches consist of deserts, chips, and sweetened non-dairy products. Specialists state a well balanced diet plan that consists of bread, vegetables and fruits, dairy products, meat, and fish can ward off cases of being extremely overweight and pave the way for a healthy lifestyle. Funds from the Supplemental Nutritional Program have not sufficed in connecting low-income people with high quality meals. Additionally, moms and dads' unpredictable work schedules may prevent a parent from being with their kids at meal times, not to mention preparing them a well balanced meal too.
While announcing the launch of some chemically free made plastic lunch boxes at a recent press conference, Freddie and Sebbie co-director Neil Speight gave praise to this particular Obama health campaign. He added: "Healthy food practices begin at home, but it's great to see that schools are going to take education a step further, by teaching children healthier ways of eating, which they will hopefully pass on to their parents. Like Michelle, our business takes health and safety very seriously, that's why the Freddie and Sebbie plastic lunch boxes to be launched on Amazon shortly are BPA, Phthalate and Lead free."
