School Lunch Standards Miss the Mark
by Kraig R. Naasz

1 Frozen food makers are proud of our partnership with school nutritionists. Together, we serve nearly 43 million federally subsidized meals every school day to children across America. We also support efforts to combat childhood obesity and improve childhood nutrition, such as the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.

2 This law requires that school meal standards reflect the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In keeping with the dietary guidelines, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s proposed new standards call on schools to double fruit and vegetable servings. We enthusiastically endorse that recommendation.

3 Other aspects of USDA’s proposed standards miss the mark and would saddle cash-strapped schools with $6.8 billion in new costs.

4 USDA wants to restrict servings of “starchy vegetables”—corn, peas, potatoes and lima beans—to just one cup per week. This proposal contradicts the dietary guidelines, which encourage Americans to eat white potatoes and other vegetables high in potassium and fiber.

5 USDA also wants to change the nutrient classification of tomato paste, which is used to make pasta and pizza sauces. Here again, the dietary guidelines encourage consumption of tomato paste because it is rich in potassium, fiber and vitamins A and C. Since it takes six whole tomatoes to make two tablespoons of tomato paste, an eighth of a cup of tomato paste is given the same credit as a half-cup of other fruits and vegetables.

6 Thousands of school nutritionists urged USDA to revise its proposed standards, and many also petitioned Congress. The bipartisan action taken by Congress to correct the starchy vegetable and tomato paste provisions will improve childhood nutrition by allowing schools to serve a wide variety of healthy foods that kids enjoy eating.



7 For millions of children, school breakfast and lunches offer the only calorie-controlled and nutritious meals they will eat in a day. Thanks to the efforts of frozen food makers and school nutritionists, we can chart a balanced approach for reducing childhood obesity and improving nutrition that does not burden school districts, and the families they serve, with massive new costs.

8) Which detail would be most important to include in a summary of "School Lunch Standards Miss the Mark"?

A "Frozen food makers are proud of our partnership..." (paragraph 1)"Frozen food makers are proud of our partnership..." (paragraph 1)

B "This proposal contradicts the dietary guidelines..." (paragraph 4)"This proposal contradicts the dietary guidelines..." (paragraph 4)

C "Since it takes six whole tomatoes to make two tablespoons of tomato paste..." (paragraph 5)"

D "Thanks to the efforts of frozen food makers and school nutritionists..." (paragraph 7

Discuss THREE activities through which local Governments can ensure the provision of services in a manner that promotes safe and healthy living ​

Answers

Answer:

Promoting healthy communities is at the heart of

what local government is about. It means creating

places and spaces that cultivate belonging, inclusion,

connectedness and engagement. It means creating

a well-planned built environment that supports

healthy behaviours and choices. It means a vibrant

social environment in which people can live, work,

learn and play. In short, it means striving to create

the conditions in which all citizens, no matter where

they are in life, can thrive, now and in the future.

While there are many influences on our lives today,

it is at the local level where policies and plans

are made and can directly affect the health and

well-being of our citizens. Local governments have

a unique role to shape the local conditions that

have an impact on the health of individuals and

communities. My hope is that together we can build

healthy communities across British Columbia.

Paragraph 4

Unlike literature in the Romantic Age, which focused mainly on the individual, literature of the Victorian Age focused on
how people dealt with drastic scientific and industrial changes. Several scientific discoveries in the fields of geology,
astronomy, and biology shook the basic foundation of Victorian culture. People stood between the past that they understood
and a future of unknown possibilities. People wanted to learn more and, at the same time, were afraid of what changes new
knowledge would bring. The work of one Victorian poet illustrates this conflict. In Idylls of the King, Alfred, Lord Tennyson
portrays a desire to return to the values of the past. In contrast, his "Ulysses," portrays a desire to press forward, to learn all
there is to learn, even if doing so seems frightening and unsure.
