National School Lunch Program. Beginning in individual schools in the 1850s, the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) has grown from a local and state supported program to a federally funded program administered through the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service. The 1946 National School Lunch Act created the national program we know today. Through the NSLP, schools are given cash subsidies and USDA commodity foods to feed the students. Families with incomes below 130 percent of poverty level ($29,965 for a family of four) are eligible for free lunch and those with incomes between 130 and 185 percent of poverty (no more than $42,643 for a family of four) can receive reducedDpriced meals for $0.40 or less. NSLP reimburses participating schools $2.86 for free lunches, $2.46 for reducedDpriced lunches and $.27 per paid lunch. In exchange for these subsidies and foods, schools must ensure children are given oneDthird or more of their Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) in each school lunch. Nutritional regulations on these lunches was fairly loose prior to 2010 (Federal Food/Nutrition Programs 2012). In 2010 the Healthy, HungerDFree Kids Act created further stipulations in order to improve the quality of food provided through NSLP. These changes included an increased amount of fruits and vegetables, more whole grain foods, low fat milk, limited calories and reduced sodium and saturated fat. This was the first update to NSLP meal standards in 15 years and holds the power to shape taste preferences of children as well as decrease health issues like childhood obesity and diabetes (Federal Food/Nutrition Programs 2012). The new standards also open up the door for more farmDtoDschool and school gardening programs to help increase fruit and vegetable consumption.
