i haven't heard of any positive effect yet, so far everything i have seen reported has to do with kids not eating them, photos of them being posted on line becoming memes for the new definition of gross out, and that some schools are now able to provide pigs with feed from the waste generated (maybe that's the positive effect?) or maybe you meant to mark your post [sarc] since you are a health food expert and Mrs Obama's lunches still represent a pretty outdated understanding of nutrition
No, I posted an article about Tossing Michelle's Salad or something salacious like that and it pointed out it was having a positive behavioral influence. Of course most kids are currently going to throw fresh healthy food out in a fit of ingroup masochism. It will take time to change attitudes as leaders shine by example. Change from addictive junk food is hard.

the photos i have seen looked neither fresh nor healthy, hopefully its a representation of far far down toward the bad end on the spectrum of what is being served... knowing how cafeteria food is made and stored especially when there is a budget i suspect its not as far as we might hope...
replacing high carb high caloric (high salt, sweet, fat ) food with a bit of (low calorie small serving) tasteless cardboard mush, a bit of green and a piece of fruit will never be a easy sell.. it goes against human nature and evolution, if i had to bet i bet it won't succeed..

Are they throwing it out? I thought the primary problem was the ridiculously tiny portions. All part of an extremely outdated view on nutrition.
