We know diet is important. It is closely intertwined with risk of disease and overall health (https://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015/guidelines/introduction/nutrition-and-health-are-closely-related/). We also know that without the free and reduced price lunch system, hundreds of our students would go hungry. So the question I am always faced with it - what am I allowing? Should I just be happy students are being fed? Or should I advocate for the best possible options for my students?
Even though it's up for debate, I came up with a list of ways we as educators can improve the health and wellbeing of our students.
I'm curious as to what you think. Please comment what your take is on healthy school lunches.

How about information on recess? Should we eliminate it or not for academics? How does that relate to a healthy lifestyle?
