Rules? What Rules.
USDA regulations recently required that foods in the school
lunch line to be healthier. Calorie, fat, sugar and sodium limits have to be met on almost every food and beverage sold during the school day. In West Salem, Kerri Feyen with district nutritional services says they they really didn’t need to see the regulations for children. They have been in place for years.
The healthier food rules have come under fire from conservatives who think the government shouldn’t dictate what kids eat and from some students who don’t like the healthier foods. Feyen says no complaints in West Salem.
