As part of Obama's goal to prevent the increasing percentages of obese Americans, the US Department of Agriculture announced a new proposal in order to create a more healthy food environment for American schools. This proposal would enhance the multiplicity of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, as well as low-fat and skim milk. Furthermore, this rule will reduce the amount of saturated fat and sodium common in many of the available cafeteria foods. Foods such as pizza and french fries will no longer be in abundance.
In my opinion, this new proposal should be put into effect immediately. This new proposal will slow down the rising numbers of obese Americans. Schools should strive for a more healthy atmosphere for their students. All in all, this rule is a great idea because it will a wholesome environment for the students.
