DESCRIPTION: Interventions to improve child nutrition at school have included everything from reducing cookie size, adding fruit to classroom cupcake celebrations, and giving vegetables attractive names, to more comprehensive strategies such as "veggiecation" curricula and transforming school cafeterias.

What's so bad about trans fats? See Trans Fat in Meat and Dairy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/trans-fat-in-meat-and-dairy/), Trans Fat, Saturated Fat, and Cholesterol: Tolerable Upper Intake of Zero (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/trans-fat-saturated-fat-and-cholesterol-tolerable-upper-intake-of-zero/), and Breast Cancer Survival and Trans Fat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-and-trans-fat/).

Whenever I find myself frustrated by half measures, I am forced to remind myself just how SAD the Standard American Diet is. See Nation's Diet in Crisis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nations-diet-in-crisis/) for a reality check. One of the problems is that parents may not even realize there is a problem (Mothers Overestimate Dietary Quality, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/mothers-overestimate-dietary-quality/).
