School food and drink slowly getting better

Are you concerned about what your school-age kids may be eating at school? Many parents are, and the focus on trying to make sure young ones eat right at school has seen renewed focus in the last year I think.

I'm not sure providing caffeine-filled drinks as all that great an idea when kids are expected to be paying attention in class, but I digress. Some experts believe that healthier food and drinks are slowly finding their way into U.S. school lunchrooms. I just hope that finding has a hint of truth to it.

Most likely, the impetus for this stems from the fact that 17% of Americans between the ages of 2 and 19 are overweight. That's 12 million kids folks. The fight to get healthier foods into schools all the time is worth it, right?
