Federal school lunches -- but not breakfasts -- linked to childhood obesity, research finds

ScienceDaily (2010-08-26) -- Children who eat school lunches that are part of the U.S. federal government's National School Lunch Program are more likely to become overweight, according to new research. Yet children who eat both the breakfast and lunch sponsored by the federal government are less heavy than children who don't participate in either, and than children who eat only the lunch, says an economist.
