Administration Proposes Easing Nutrition Guidelines For School Lunches

The USDA proposed changes to school nutrition guidelines, allowing more flexibility in serving meals like pizza and fries, potentially reducing fruit and vegetable servings. This move aims to address food waste and provide more appetizing meals.
