Because more than one-third of children and more than two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese, the 7th edition of Dietary Guidelines for Americans places stronger emphasis on reducing calorie consumption and increasing physical activity. The focus is to encourage us to consume more healthy foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat-free and low-fat dairy products, and to consume less sodium, saturated fats, and sugar. The New Dietary Guidelines for School Meals was just introduced January 25, 2012 by First Lady Michelle Obama. As these changes are communicated to us by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) we will make additional changes to student’s menus. The Child Nutrition Reauthorization will be good for students and Charlotte Public Schools will continue to implement changes to follow the new guidelines. Charlotte Public Schools has already been working on improving the nutritional value of our school meals. We have implemented many of the proposed changes that are listed in the New Meal Pattern Document for Schools. We focus on healthy eating daily by offering fresh fruit, vegetables, 100% juice, salads, low fat yogurt, string cheese and milk. We have switched from white bread products to serving whole wheat bread, hamburger buns and hotdog buns. We make homemade whole wheat rolls, use whole wheat breading on Tyson chicken products, and whole wheat grain crust for pizza. Food Service now purchases fresh greens and vegetables locally with a Farm to School Program, or when available we utilize fresh greens from the Charlotte High School botany green house and high tunnel. We are implementing the Fuel Up to Play 60 at our Middle School again this year. Fuel Up to Play 60 is a program that emphasizes nutrient-rich foods, low-fat and fat-free milk, fruits, vegetables and whole grains along with at least sixty minutes of physical activity daily. Charlotte Public Schools will continue to do our part in promoting healthy food choices and physical activity.
