White House nutrition policy adviser Sam Kass said the policy is a top priority for the administration.

They even had to introduce comprehensive pasta to satiate the hunger, they claim not to have met by this test regimes taxed canteen.

EXCERPT OF THE HEALTHY HUNGER FREE- KIDS ACT SIGNED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA IN 2010 “The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 represents a major step forward in our nation´s effort to provide all children with healthy food in schools. Increasingly schools are playing a central role in children´s health. Over 31 million children receive meals through the school lunch program and many children receive most, if not all, of their meals at school. With over seventeen million children living in food insecure households and one out of every three children in America now considered overweight or obese, schools often are on the front lines of our national challenge to combat childhood obesity and improve children´s overall health. This legislation includes significant improvements that will help provide children with healthier and more nutritious food options, educate children about making healthy food choices, and teach children healthy habits that can last a lifetime. USDA will work with states, school districts and neighbourhoods to implement the provisions of the bill and Americans will start to see changes in their communities over time.“Numerous personalities from the political, scientific, journalistic, gastronomy and even military have brought their official support to the First Lady for her efforts to balance the alimetation children to school, while stopping their hunger. Among them, here is the testimony of "Retired Army Generals John M. Shalikashvili and Hugh Shelton, Former Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

“On behalf of Mission: Readiness and over 100 retired generals and admirals who support child nutrition legislation as a matter of national security, we are very pleased that the nation has taken this important step in addressing the nation´s obesity epidemic. Being overweight or obese is the No. 1 medical reason why young men and women are unable to join the military. Research shows that up to 40 percent of what children consume every day takes place during school hours and that 80 percent of children who were overweight between the ages of 10 to 15 were obese by age 25. The final bill includes provisions that can get junk food out of schools, nourish more kids who need healthful meals and motivate them and their parents to adopt healthful eating and exercise habits.  Military concerns about the fitness of American children are not new. When the National School Lunch Act was first passed in 1946, it was seen as a matter of national security. At the time many military leaders recognised that poor nutrition was a significant factor reducing the pool of qualified candidates for service. Our country is facing another serious health crisis. Obesity rates threaten the overall health of America and the future strength of our military. We must act, as we did after World War II, to ensure that our children can one day defend our country, if need be.“-Retired Army Generals John M.
