“Children will not be forced to take the vegetables and fruits onto their plates; the standards require that the various food groups be offered,” Charles Alberts, teacher at Lansing School District, said.

When asked about expectations for lunch, most students still hope to have more choices.

“If the main dishes can be like the salad bar that would be great, ” Andy Arsen, a first-grade student at Reo Lansing Elementary School, said.

"When we send our kids to school, we expect that they won't be eating the kind of fatty, salty, sugary foods that we try to keep them from eating at home," First Lady Michelle Obama said in a news release, according to Madison Park, CNN’s Website.
