Host: Barbara Lewis
Interview: Shia Levitt, Sound Medicine reporter
We begin the show with the contents of school-lunch trays.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture wants school lunches to be healthier: less fat and salt; more fruits and vegetables.
But as Sound Medicine's Shia Levitt reports, the efforts to combat child obesity by making lunches healthier requires balancing what kids will eat, and what schools can afford.
