The state Education and Health departments have come out with a new guidelines calling for healthier school lunches and more physical activity for students. Over the next four years, schools will begin removing foods and drinks high in fat and sugar and will begin promoting more healthy food choices. Physical activity will also be encouraged. Under the plan which was started this year, students will have at least 20 minutes of recess per day.

There has been some concern from schools about the new program. While the renewed emphasis on nutrition won't affect school lunches that much, campus snack sales and vending machines are likely to see changes. Schools are worried about the loss of the popular items, which help to generate school revenue and fund some programs, like sports teams. Companies that supply food for fundraising, however, are already looking at ways to conform to the new guidelines.

The state's new wellness guidelines are in response to a federal mandate requiring all schools participating in the National School Lunch Program to establish and implement policies that promote healthy choices. Schools will have until June 2011 to comply with the mandate.

The new guidelines include:
No more than 8 grams of total fat per serving.
No more than 2 grams of saturated fat per serving.
Zero grams of trans fat per serving.
No more than 200 calories per serving.
No more than 200 milligrams of sodium per serving.
No more than 8 grams of sugar per serving.
More than 2 grams of dietary fiber per serving
No beverages larger than 12 ounces except water and milk
Limited sugar use.
