Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participation in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) is much less common than participation in the Nat. School Lunch Program, even among children with access to both programs. This report examines participation in the SBP among 3rd grade public school students, as well as the impacts of the program on food insecurity and children's risk of skipping breakfast. Students are more likely to participate when breakfast is served in the classroom, when time available for breakfast in school is longer, and when they come from lower income or time-constrained households. Children with access to the SBP are more likely to eat breakfast in the morning and that program access may enhance food security among families at the margin of food insecurity. Illus.

Download or read book The School Breakfast Program in New York City Public Schools written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the School Breakfast Program, New York City can ensure that over one million public school children receive a healthy breakfast at the start of each day. This task is critical, not only because breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but also because about 725,000 of New York City's public school children come from households with incomes low enough to qualify them for free or reduced-price meals. Despite these facts, New York City's school breakfast participation rate remains low. The number of children who participate in school breakfast can, however, be markedly increased through both the expansion of the BIC program and parental engagement. Also, further study about opinions of, and experiences with, BIC can provide insight into how to strengthen and expand this successful program, and ultimately school breakfast participation. Similarly, gathering information about New York City students' breakfast habits - the what, where, and why of their breakfasts - will facilitate a better understanding of the choices and needs of New York City's public school children and their families, which can ultimately help identify additional ways to use school-based programs and initiatives to address hunger and improve child nutrition. Overall, these steps present a significant opportunity to contribute to the food security and well-being of so many of New York City's children.

Download or read book School Meals written by Committee on Nutrition Standards for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-02-16 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensuring that the food provided to children in schools is consistent with current dietary recommendations is an important national focus. Various laws and regulations govern the operation of school meal programs. In 1995, Nutrition Standards and Meal Requirements were put in place to ensure that all meals offered would be high in nutritional quality. School Meals reviews and provides recommendations to update the nutrition standard and the meal requirements for the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. The recommendations reflect new developments in nutrition science, increase the availability of key food groups in the school meal programs, and allow these programs to better meet the nutritional needs of children, foster healthy eating habits, and safeguard children's health. School Meals sets standards for menu planning that focus on food groups, calories, saturated fat, and sodium and that incorporate Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Dietary Reference Intakes. This book will be used as a guide for school food authorities, food producers, policy leaders, state/local governments, and parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did our children end up eating nachos, pizza, and Tater Tots for lunch? Taking us on an eye-opening journey into the nation's school kitchens, this superbly researched book is the first to provide a comprehensive assessment of school food in the United States. Janet Poppendieck explores the deep politics of food provision from multiple perspectives--history, policy, nutrition, environmental sustainability, taste, and more. How did we get into the absurd situation in which nutritionally regulated meals compete with fast food items and snack foods loaded with sugar, salt, and fat? What is the nutritional profile of the federal meals? How well are they reaching students who need them? Opening a window onto our culture as a whole, Poppendieck reveals the forces--the financial troubles of schools, the commercialization of childhood, the reliance on market models--that are determining how lunch is served. She concludes with a sweeping vision for change: fresh, healthy food for all children as a regular part of their school day.
Download or read book Nutrition Standards and Meal Requirements for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-12-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National School Breakfast Program feeds 10 million children each day, and the National School Lunch Program feeds more than 30 million students. Yet the national nutrition standards and meal requirements for these meals were created more than a decade ago, making them out of step with recent guidance about children's diets. With so many children receiving as much as 50 percent of their daily caloric intake from school meals, it is vital for schools to provide nutritious food alongside the best possible education for the success of their students. At the request of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Institute of Medicine assembled a committee to recommend updates and revisions to the school lunch and breakfast programs. The first part of the committee's work is reflected in the December 2008 IOM report Nutrition Standards and Meal Requirements for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs: Phase I. Proposed Approach for Recommending Revisions. Phase II of the report is expected in Fall 2009. This first report provides information about the committee's approach as it reviews the school lunch and breakfast programs. In the report's second part, the committee will share its findings and recommendations to bring these meals more in line with today's dietary guidelines. The committee welcomes public comments about its intended approach. An open forum will be held January 28, 2009 in Washington, DC to receive input from the public.

Download or read book Child and Adult Care Food Program written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-06-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federally-funded program designed to provide healthy meals and snacks to children and adults while receiving day care at participating family day care homes, traditional child care centers, afterschool facilities, adult care facilities, and emergency shelters. CACFP has the broadest scope of any of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) food program, serving more than 3 million children and 114,000 adults across the nation. To receive reimbursement for the foods served, participating programs must abide by requirements set by the USDA. Child and Adult Care Food Program assesses the nutritional needs of the CACFP population based on Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) and makes recommendations for revisions to the CACFP meal requirements. The book outlines meal requirements that include food specifications that could be used for specific meals and across a full day, covering all age groups from infants to older adults and meal patterns designed for use in a variety of settings, including in-home care and in large centers. By implementing these meal requirements, consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain rich foods will increase while consumption of solid fats, added sugars, and sodium will decrease. Not only will this address the high prevalence of childhood obesity, it will also help to achieve consistency with the standards and regulations of other USDA nutrition assistance programs, particularly the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. Child and Adult Care Food Program makes practical recommendations that would bring CACFP meals and snacks into alignment with current dietary guidance. The book will serve as a vital resource for federal and state public health officials, care providers working in child and adult day care facilities, WIC agencies, officials working with the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, and other organizations serving at-risk populations.
Download or read book The Impact of Participation in the School Breakfast Program on Children s School Outcomes written by Emily Holcombe and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advocates and policy makers argue that the School Breakfast Program not only improves children's nutrition and physical health, but that it also can promote educational success. I test this claim empirically by examining whether eating breakfast at school affects the cognitive achievement and social skills of disadvantaged third, fifth, and eighth grade students. Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey - Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K), I estimate cross-sectional ordinary least squares regression models and longitudinal fixed-effects models to isolate the effects of eating breakfast at school on child outcomes, net of characteristics of children, their families, and schools. Bivariate analyses show a strong and consistent negative relationship between eating breakfast at school and children's academic and social outcomes. However, this relationship is completely explained by children's characteristics; in multivariate and fixed-effects models, I find no effect of consuming breakfast at school on children's cognitive or social outcomes.

Download or read book The Association Between Participation in the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program and Weight Status Among 12 to 15 year olds written by Joan Hampson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examined the association between participation in school meal programs and weight status among 12 to 15 year olds using data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999--2006). Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to examine the data concerning 12 to 15 year old Black, White, and Hispanic students who attended schools that participated in the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program, while controlling for race, gender, age, physical activity, poverty, and the survey period and treating race or a combination of race and poverty income ratio as effect modifiers. Initial exploration of potential non-linear association revealed that: the school breakfast-weight status association could be modeled as linear type; and school lunch-weight status association could be modeled as a reverse-V shape. Race was found to be an effect modifier for the school breakfast-weight status association and not for school lunch-weight association. Among Blacks, breakfast participation showed non-significant positive association with at risk of overweight (OR=1.06 for each increase in weekly breakfast participation, p = 0.17) and with overweight (OR= 1.02, p = 0.58). Among Whites, breakfast participation was positively associated with overweight (OR=1.12, p = 0.06) and negatively associated with at risk of overweight (OR=0.88, p = 0.10). There was a statistically significant association between school lunch participation and overweight (p = 0.01). Shift of lunch participation from zero to 1 is associated with increased odds of being overweight. (OR=2.09, p = 0.01), and further increase in lunch participation beyond 1 per week was associated with decreased odds of being overweight (OR for per each weekly lunch participation = 0.85, p = 0.01). The results raise some concerns over whether school breakfast is serving the intended purpose. Frequent breakfast participants among Whites were found to have high probability of being overweight and can be considered as a target for intervention. School lunch participants and non-participants showed marked difference in probability of being overweight. Racial differences in the association between meal participation and weight status and the underlying reasons thereof should be explored for further study, with consideration given to all foods consumed throughout the day. -- Abstract.

This book was released on 1999-06-10 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report was prepared in response to a request from the Economic Research Service (ERS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). It summarizes the discussions at a February 1998 workshop convened by the Committee on National Statistics; the Board on Children, Youth, and Families; and the Food and Nutrition Board. The fiscal year 1998 (FY1998) appropriations bill for USDA gave ERS responsibility for all research and evaluation studies on USDA food assistance programs. The bill provided $18 million to fund these studies, an increase from $7 million in FY1997. ERS asked the Committee on National Statistics for assistance in identifying new areas of research and data collection and in further improving the evaluation studies of food assistance programs. By bringing together many who work on evaluation of food assistance programs, policy analysis, survey methods, nutrition, child nutrition and child development, outcome measurement, and state welfare programs, the issues presented and discussed at the workshop provided ERS with information that could be used to develop a framework for their research program.
