This article from familyhealtheducation.com is subtitled, "School Lunches Fall Short."  It reviews information from a recent study by the American College of Cardiology that found that students who ate lunch provided by the National School Lunch Program were more likely to be obese compared to students who brought lunch from home.

The research also found that kids who ate school-provided lunches were more likely to eat fatty meals, drink sugary beverages, and eat fewer fruits and vegetables than their counterparts.
