- Title
FREE SCHOOL MEALS FOR ALL IS THE KEY TO SUPPORTING EDUCATION AND HEALTH OUTCOMES.
- Abstract
Healthy School Meals for All also increases participation in school breakfast and lunch (Logan et al., 2014), which allows school nutrition finances to benefit from economies of scale. School meal debt occurs when children who are not certified for free school meals arrive in the cafeteria without money in their school lunch account or cash in hand to pay for their meal. Healthy School Meals for All eliminates the concerning practices that schools implement in response to unpaid school meal fees and the financial burden upon schools and families. The federal School Nutrition Programs - the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP) - are the largest federal child nutrition programs.
