Now the federal government will try to ensure students eat more hummus and
other foods made from legume crops grown in Eastern Washington and North Idaho.
.
The new farm bill signed into law Feb. 7 will put more healthy foods on
school lunch menus across the country.
.
U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell visited Mead High School on Friday to talk up the
bills boost for local farmers and food companies.
.
Washington produces nearly half of the nations total chickpeas and is third in
pea and lentil production.
.
The lentil and chickpea choices Mead offered Friday roasted chickpeas and
lentils; hummus veggie wraps and lentil sloppy joes impressed Cantwell.
.
What Im finding is where young kids are involved, these healthy eating programs
are more successful, Cantwell said. These (Mead) kids are all over it.
.
School districts focused on providing healthier food choices, including
high-protein legumes, are already seeing the difference.
.
Students in seven King County school districts showed a 17 percent decline in
youth obesity after participating in a two-year program in which Seattle and
King County public health partnered with schools and community organizations to
offer better food choices and opportunities for physical activity, according to
a recent Centers for Disease Control report.
