Taking aim at one of former First Lady Michelle Obama’s signature achievements, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue announced the roll back of some school meal rules while visiting a Virginia elementary school. Both rules have been rolled out slowly to allow time for children and school food workers to adjust. Over 31 million students eat school lunch every day, while 15 million eat school breakfast daily. Sodium and whole grain rules had been the target of many complaints since the rules were implemented. For elementary school students, school lunches must have no more than 1,230 mg of sodium.
