Clinton foundation deal on snack foods

Bill Clinton's efforts to improve school food reached a major new agreement today, as detailed in this NYTimes article: Snack Food Producers to Provide More Nutritious Foods to Schools

Once again, SFUSD is way ahead of the curve here. Clinton's agreement will establish recommended standards and prod the industry to make healthier options available, but it cannot force districts to meet these standards. Here at SFUSD we already have our own strict standards. Maybe we will have more healthy options to choose from as a result of this, but I doubt these standards will go above and beyond what we already require—although Clinton's agreement includes new sodium guidelines that have been absent in the past.
