Extractions: Texas Department of Agriculture Issues Stronger School Nutrition Policy for 2004-2005 By Melanie R. Margolis Effective August 1, 2004, in time for the 2004-2005 school year, a new nutrition policy will be in place for Texas schoolchildren. The new policy is available at http://www.agr.state.tx.us/foodnutrition/ntn_policy.htm . Announced by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) on March 3, 2004, the new policy calls for schools to limit the number of grams of fat and sugar schoolchildren may have, and it will require schools eventually to eliminate deep-fat frying in food preparation. Also, portion sizes for such items as chips, cookies, bakery items, and frozen desserts will be limited. The new policy also limits the availability of competitive foods. Competitive foods are foods that are sold in competition with a schools operation of the breakfast, lunch, or after school snack programs, and include, for example, food items sold in vending machines, school stores, and school fundraisers. These nutritional standards apply to foods served in districts where at least one school participates in the national school breakfast, lunch, or after-school snack program. The previous TDA school nutrition policy, dated July 28, 2003, detailed new nutritional standards for the 2003-2004 school year, but it was not nearly as far reachingas the new one.

Extractions: Internet Address: i-hinojosa@tamu.edu The U.S. population is becoming more diverse. Currently, racial and ethnic minorities make up 25% of the population. It is estimated that by the year 2030 this proportion will increase to 40% (Allen, 2001). In 1997, the nation's total foreign-born population numbered 26 million, of which 7 million were native of Mexico (US Census Bureau, 2001). As of 1998, the Hispanic population of Texas was 6 million, representing 30% of the state's population. Six Texas counties were at least 90% Hispanic: Starr (98%), Webb (95%), Maverick (95%), Jim Hogg (93%), Brooks (91%), and Zavala (91%) (U.S. Census Bureau, 2001). To address this challenge, a nutrition education program, "The Importance of Nutrition in the Prevention of Birth Defects: Education Outreach in South Texas," was developed and implemented by the Texas Cooperative Extension, Texas A&M University System in collaboration with the Texas A&M University Health Science Center. Funding for the 3-year project was provided by the Houston Endowment Inc. Curriculum and program outreach materials were titled "Celebrando Los Niños" (celebrate the baby).

Extractions: for public school children I am here representing the Center for Public Policy Priorities, a nonprofit, nonpartisan, research organization that works on behalf of low and moderate-income Texans, to testify in support of SB 474. While the Center supports all of the provisions in this bill, my testimony focuses on the sections relating to expanding, supporting, and maintaining participation in the School Breakfast Program. The link between school breakfast and improved academic performance creates a clear incentive for Texas to keep expanding its school breakfast program Research on the Benefits of School Breakfast Research shows that eating a good breakfast is critical to classroom success. Missing breakfast can impair learning and lead to emotional and behavioral problems, while eating breakfast leads to higher standardized test scores, better grades in math and reading, and fewer discipline problems.
