Children’s healthiest meals of the day come from school cafeterias
School food is often given a bad rap, but a new study found it can be the healthiest meal children eat in a day.
Researchers analyzed the diets of over 21,000 children and 40,000 adults between 2003 and 2018 and found that the percentage of “poor nutritional quality food consumed from schools” declined from 55% to 24% over the 15-year period, according to a study published Monday in JAMA Network Open.
The decrease mainly occurred after 2010, which is when the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act was passed, said study author Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, dean of Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy and professor of medicine at Tufts School of Medicine.

As the city prepares for general public inoculation as part of Phase 3 of the state s vaccination program, officials will explore the possibility of creating a mobile COVID-19 vaccination program, bringing vaccines directly to residents in underserved communities.
The council asked City Manager Louis DePasquale on Monday night to consider the feasibility of retrofitting existing municipal vehicles or renting vehicles to create a mobile vaccine clinic. The program would help ensure residents of color, low-income residents, and those without adequate transportation to mass vaccinations sites have access to the vaccine.
