Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act

The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act is a U.S. law passed in 2010 aimed at improving nutrition for children in schools. It mandates healthier meal options in school cafeterias, sets nutritional standards for meals, and increases access to healthy foods for low-income families. The law also supports programs that encourage physical activity and nutrition education. By promoting healthier eating habits, the act seeks to combat childhood obesity and ensure that all children have the necessary resources to grow up healthy and succeed academically.
