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.
