Want to know the financial impact of the USDA's proposed nutrition
standards on foods/drinks sold outside of school meals? Based on a
recent Health
Impact Assessment<http://www.pewhealth.org/uploadedFiles/PHG/Content_Level_Pages/Reports/KS_HIA_revised%20WEB%20FINAL%2073112.pdf>
completed
by the Kids' Safe and Healthful Foods Project, the Health Impact Project
and Upstream Public Health:

o   **An interactive
calculator<http://www.healthyschoolfoodsnow.org/calculating-the-cost/>
that
shows the total food service revenue and overall nutritional value of a
USDA school meal compared to those of an a la carte lunch and vending
machine sales.****

**o   **A conversation<http://www.healthyschoolfoodsnow.org/financial-impacts-of-nutrition-standards-for-snacks-sold-in-schools/>
about
the financial implications of nutrition standards for snack foods and
beverages with Neal Wallace, the lead economic analyst for the project’s
health impact assessment.****

nutritious is food from the regular lunch line, a la carte line, or vending
machines, and how much money do schools make from each type of transaction?
The answers may not be what you think. Click to learn more. <link>*
