Weekly Roundup from Bag the Junk

 

Here’s the weekly roundup from BagtheJunk.org, NEA HIN’s sister website dedicated to all things healthy school food:

• Snack Attack! The Negative Impact of Unhealthy Snack Foods and Drinks on Student Health is the second blog in our three-part series on “competitive foods” in schools. In this installment we cover how junk foods and sugary drinks affect kids’ health and ability to learn in school.
• How Schools Can Eliminate Unhealthy Snack Foods and Drinks is the final blog in our three-part series. In this installment we suggest three simple policy options schools can enact to create healthier school environments.

We hope you enjoy reading our blogs this week, and look forward to seeing you here next Thursday!
