UM: School Lunches

Bloomberg reports on a UM study that found students who regularly eat school-provided lunches are more likely to be overweight and have higher cholesterol levels than those who eat meals from home. The article quotes UM medical professor Elizabeth Jackson, one of the study’s authors: “We need to partner with schools to help kids in a prevention way, so we don’t have to wait until they’re patients in the cardiologist’s office as adults.” [Source]
