This report provides information on the content of school lunches offered to middle school children in the public schools. A total of 163 middle schools in 42 states responded to the school lunch survey. Survey findings are given on: (1) the contents of the main course, vegetable and fruit offerings, desserts, and beverages; and (2) lunches actually eaten by students including those prepared outside of the school lunch program. It is concluded that from the main course to dessert, options in the school lunch program are often high in fat. Contributing to this high-fat diet is the lack of variety in school lunch menus. Recommendations are made for state and federal action. (JD)
