查看习题详情和答案>>The National School Lunch Program
The majority of America’s schools participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), which provides low-cost or free lunches to more than 30 million kids a day. Signed into law in 1946 by President Harry S. Truman, the government originally started the program to absorb remaining farm products, while providing meals to school age children.
Any school district or independent nonprofit school participating in the NSLP receives cash and food from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In turn, the school’s meals must meet national nutrition requirements which are as follows:
No more than 30 percent of the meal’s calories may come from fat. Meals must provide one-third of the recommended protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron and calorie intakes.
It is worth noting that many experts feel these national nutrition guidelines are out of date and that some fast food provided by the NSLP isn't much healthier than some fast food. President Obama’s White House chef , for example, states the NSLP meals are high in fat. Parents and nutrition experts alike are calling for a complete review of the program.
Budget Challenges
Providing healthy school lunches within a limited budget is a challenge. Most schools today don’t even have full kitchens due to school lunch budget drops. Food is instead prepared outside or simply heated up and served at the school.
School Lunch Alternatives
Some school districts may find the NSLP unsatisfactory and instead provide other options. For example, the Farm-to-School Program aims to connect schools with local farms. Students can learn about the journey of their food “from farm to fork”, and local products appear in school meals. School gardens also provide opportunities for nutrition education, as well as produce food that can be offered at the school cafeteria. Of course, these programs require money and resources, and it is up to the school district to figure out how to get them.
60. According to the text, the NSLP _________.
A. provides completely free food to children
B. applies to all of America’s schools
C. did not come into force legally until 1946
D. mainly provided school meals when it first started
61. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A. Obama’s chef likes NSLP food very much.
B. Food from the NSLP is healthier than fast food.
C. Many parents are worried about the program.
D. The national nutrition guidelines are still good.
62. Sometimes schools prepare food for their students outside because _______.
A. parents asked the schools to do so
B. the government allows the school to do so
C. it is cleaner and healthier than food produced on campus
D. the school lunch budget is limited
63. What can we learn about the Farm-to-School Program?
A. Students can learn a lot from it. B. It is based on a free-of-charge rule.
C. It has replace the NSLP in most places. D. The school cannot buy local products.
