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.

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 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.

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.

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.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These hearing transcripts present testimony to the Senate Committee on Agriculture regarding the School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. Statements were made by several senators, the president of the American School Food Service Association (Connecticut); a school food service program director (Florida); the director of nutrition and education for the American School Food Service Association (Virginia); the director of the Children's Nutrition Research Center (Texas); the vice president of Food Operations at Disneyland Resort and Concept Development (California); and an assistant professor of clinical dietetics and nutrition, University of Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania). Witnesses maintained that the Nutrition Education and Training Program needs funding to maintain its current service level. It is necessary to modify the School Lunch Program to encourage student participation, make it easier for schools for qualify, and to reduce the administrative burden. Testimony also indicated that breakfast programs are vital to student nutrition, academic performance, and school attendance. School food service has become more efficient and more consumer-oriented, has expanded to supply meals to new audiences, and has increased the flexibility of service delivery. However, it is necessary to integrate food service within the educational day to enhance student nutrition knowledge and practice. Offering food choices may reduce food waste. The solution to major childhood nutritional problems is to apply current information to improve children's diets and to support nutrition research. An appendix to the transcripts contains additional statements, letters, and materials submitted. (KB)
Download or read book The Labor of Lunch written by Jennifer E. Gaddis and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s a problem with school lunch in America. Big Food companies have largely replaced the nation’s school cooks by supplying cafeterias with cheap, precooked hamburger patties and chicken nuggets chock-full of industrial fillers. Yet it’s no secret that meals cooked from scratch with nutritious, locally sourced ingredients are better for children, workers, and the environment. So why not empower “lunch ladies” to do more than just unbox and reheat factory-made food? And why not organize together to make healthy, ethically sourced, free school lunches a reality for all children? The Labor of Lunch aims to spark a progressive movement that will transform food in American schools, and with it the lives of thousands of low-paid cafeteria workers and the millions of children they feed. By providing a feminist history of the US National School Lunch Program, Jennifer E. Gaddis recasts the humble school lunch as an important and often overlooked form of public care. Through vivid narration and moral heft, The Labor of Lunch offers a stirring call to action and a blueprint for school lunch reforms capable of delivering a healthier, more equitable, caring, and sustainable future.

Download or read book Expanding the School Breakfast Program written by Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School meals programs are the front line of defense against childhood hunger, and while the school lunch program is nearly universally available in U.S. public schools, the school breakfast program has lagged behind in terms of availability and participation. In this paper we use experimental data collected by the USDA to measure the impact of two popular policy innovations aimed at increasing access to the school breakfast program. The first, universal free school breakfast, provides a hot breakfast before school (typically served in the school's cafeteria) to all students regardless of their income eligibility for free or reduced-price meals. The second is the Breakfast in the Classroom (BIC) program that provides free school breakfast to all children to be eaten in the classroom during the first few minutes of the school day. We find both policies increase the take-up rate of school breakfast, though much of this reflects shifting breakfast consumption from home to school or consumption of multiple breakfasts and relatively little of the increase is from students gaining access to breakfast. We find little evidence of overall improvements in child 24-hour nutritional intake, health, behavior or achievement, with some evidence of health and behavior improvements among specific subpopulations.

Book excerpt: In FY 2008, 31 million children participated in the Nat. School Lunch Program and 10 million children participated in the School Breakfast Program each school day. The majority of school meals are provided for free or at a reduced price to low-income students. Some states and school districts have chosen to implement programs that eliminate the reduced-price fee (known as ERP programs) and instead provide free meals to students eligible for the reduced fee. This report provides info. on: (1) what is known about the states and districts that have eliminated the reduced-price fee for school meals; (2) the experiences of states and districts that have ERP programs; and (3) the factors that may help or hinder the estab. or continuation of ERP programs.
