School Lunches Show Modest Diet Gains, Cost Concerns Remain
Original: School Lunches Show Modest Diet Gains, but Menu Cost May Shape Child Nutrition
New reporting says school lunches have delivered modest improvements in children's diets, but the cost of menu items may determine how nutritious school meals actually are for students.

Commenters are weighing how far affordable school meals can go in improving child nutrition.
Why now: Renewed debate over school meal quality and affordability makes the link between menu cost and child nutrition topical.
