The present nutrition state is not good for students to get good health that is essential for their growth

and healthy mind. A number of needs are present as specialized health care, more calories for growth

and food security as significant need for school children. In adolescence and childhood, various eating

healthy programs are very essential for the health, growth and development. The largest school

breakfast program is the “United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)” (U.S Department of

Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, 2014). These plans prevent a lot of diseases as cancer, heart

diseases and iron deficiency problems. We can get improvements by providing fruits and vegetables

Lunch Program (NSLP) we can offer good food and health for students getting great interest in studies

and other activities.

Economic Issues:

There are various economical issues faced in serving population in schools. There are obedience, safety

and health issues. As given below;

1 what are the liabilities of school food overhaul?

2- Who can Supply of further information and other methodological support.

3- Where can supplementary funds are achieved?

In 2009, the USA provided a report that explains that the safety standards of agricultural marketing

service (AMS) that buys meat for school lunches were lower than average standards of the fast food

restaurants in the country.

Moreover, there is communication issues associated with FDA. These create repeated use of suppliers

with a long history of food safety violations. The kitchens of the schools are ill equipped for food

preparations and meals are delivered in prepackaged containers as reheated and served on the site by

the contractors. The use of the soft drinks has tripled in the last 7 years among teenagers and 13% of

their calories come from carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks. These empty calories are crating

long-term health problems like as weight loss and obesity. School districts have not the funds to change

the system of school and that is why, system remains same.

Special needs E.g. (Health):

The students or populations having health care needs mean that they require specific health care in the

duration of school day to contribute in educational program. The growing children require more calories

than those provided by meals at schools. Food security is an important issue that must be resolved. The

population served in school breakfast and lunch requires more calories to accomplish their activities at

school education. They require good physical conditions, so that they could get higher ranks in exams.

Children with special disabilities need special education and other services.

There are two major categories of children needs;

 Children with disabilities are incapable to eat ordinary meals

 Children with persistent medical condition are not shown to have disability.
