National School Lunch Week
Oct. 8 through 12 is National School Lunch Week, a time to recognize this program that serves 31 million U.S. students each day.
In our Public Health Moment podcast, Jamie Stang, a University of Minnesota assistant professor and nutrition expert, talks about the program's origins.
She also discusses the relatively new Farm-to-Schools movement, under which many schools are starting to buy foods locally. Stang says that Minnesota is a leader in this area.
