Did you know school lunches are specifically designed to give your kids the right balance of real, whole nutrients while keeping added sugars and sodium low? 🍎🥦✨ In fact, school meals are often the most well-balanced, nutrient-dense meals children eat all day! The science backs it up, too: research from Tufts University and the USDA shows that school lunches have a higher overall nutritional quality than meals brought from home or bought elsewhere. Studies reveal that students who eat school lunch consume significantly more whole grains, milk, fruits, and vegetables, and fewer sugary snacks or drinks, than their peers who pack a lunch.
