(Medical-NewsWire.com, February 08, 2015 ) Las Vegas, NV -- Raquel Hellman has published on KIMT news an article about the growing challenge to make kids make healthier lunch choices, while saying that school lunches are no longer just greasy fries or fried chicken. Lauren Daley, a student at Lewiston Altura High School, said "When you think of school lunches, a lot of people don't think of what we have, which is really healthy, good solid food!"
Vickie Speltz, the district's Food Service Director said that these days, school lunches do actually look a little different to what they used to. She added... "We changed it into different sections now, because if the kids are going to eat lunch, then they're going to want choice, which quite honestly we really did need to provide them." She revealed that at Lewiston Altura High School, the kitchen area had been given a whole new complete makeover, including the addition of veggie and fruit bars, though pointing out that it is still quite a challenge to make it easier for students to make the healthier choices now available. She also mentioned the importance of a healthy balanced diet at school, saying... "This could actuality be the healthiest meal any one student might get during the day, so it really is so important for schools to feed them that one healthy meal."
School student Daley also said... "When you eat healthy in school, you really do appreciate it because it's good and wholesome. Before when I got home, I'd really fancy some really good corn or beans, and ask mom to make it for me, but eating healthier has taken that away, so now when I go home, I know I won't be snacking until supper time, when I'm going to eat a bag of chips or something like that." Another student Arron Hohensee also said that it took away the opportunity of snacking because you were still full from lunch. The Lewiston Altura District has also received a grant from Minnesota's Farm to School program, with the money being used to continue making healthier food options available to students in Minnesota.

He added... "It's great to see that at least one school district is taking the subject of healthy lunches for kids seriously. It's so important for children to receive a balanced diet, and additionally parents could also take the initiative of preparing a cold meat salad at home, and also packing a bottle of natural juice or water, along with fruit or berries, while all being safely packed in an insulated lunch bag to avoid food going off before it's eaten."
