Each meal served meets 1/3 of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for elementary and junior high students. No more than 30% of the calories come from fat and less than 10% comes from saturated fat as recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.Children are never forced to eat food that they do not like, however they are always encouraged to try new items. All children participating in the National School Lunch Program must select at least three of five meal components so that their lunch qualifies as a complete meal. The daily menu offers both a meat entrée and a non-meat entrée.
