If you are lining up for hot lunch in schools, there are some big changes to how healthy they are.
As Christina Vecchioni told us last night on 9&10 News at 5:00, new federal guidelines, part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, require healthier foods, and calorie restrictions.
Today's hot lunches are made up of less snacks, more vegetables, and smaller portions of meat, along with low or non-fat milk.
There are also calorie limits, which has some students complaining they are not getting enough to eat.
A clinical dietitian we spoke with says athletes may need more calories, but for the average student, the portions should be enough.
For tonight's "Feedback at 5:00," we wanted to know what you thought of the new hot lunch?
