Urban School Food Alliance推出School Lunch is Healthcare計劃
Urban School Food Alliance 是一個由多個大型城市學區組成的非牟利協作網絡，服務近 7,000 所學校、約 380 萬名學生，該組織委任 Manasa Mantravadi 醫生為首任醫療顧問，並推出「School Lunch is Healthcare」倡議。這項計劃正式將校園膳食定位為預防性醫療保健的公認一環，而不僅僅是一項膳食服務。
Urban School Food Alliance 的這項倡議，建基於將優質校園膳食與學業表現提升、慢性病風險降低、終身健康飲食習慣，以及更佳專注力及課堂行為表現連結起來的研究成果。此舉回應了令人憂慮的全國數據——超加工食品佔美國兒童及青少年攝取卡路里的約三分之二，而僅有不足十分之一的青少年達到聯邦蔬菜攝取建議標準。
英文原文
The Urban School Food Alliance, a nonprofit collaborative network of large urban school districts serving approximately 3.8 million students across nearly 7,000 schools, has appointed Dr. Manasa Mantravadi as its first-ever Medical Advisor and launched the 'School Lunch is Healthcare' initiative. This venture formally positions school meals as a recognized pillar of preventive healthcare rather than simply a food service program.
The Urban School Food Alliance's initiative is supported by research linking high-quality school meals to improved academic performance, reduced risk of chronic disease, healthier lifelong eating habits, and better concentration and classroom behavior. It responds to concerning national data showing that ultra-processed foods account for roughly two-thirds of calories consumed by American children and adolescents, while fewer than one in ten adolescents meet federal vegetable intake recommendations.
