Umthetho weNational School Lunch Lunch usungulwe ngumthetho nguMongameli Truman eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-70 eyedlule kanti uhlelo lwesidlo sabantwana abaneminyaka yesikole lwashintshwa kuze kube phakade. Kusukela ekuqaleni kwawo ngo-1946, lesi senzo sesidlo sasekuseni sasihlose ukunikela ukudla okunomsoco futhi okunomsoco ukuze kukhuthazwe izingane ezinsukwini zokufunda.
Okwamanje, izikole ezingaphezu kuka-100 000 zihlanganyela esikoleni sasemini.
Uhlelo luhlinzeka ngosizo lukahulumeni kanye nokuqondiswa kokudla okuvela ku-USDA kuwo wonke amazinga kahulumeni kanye nesifundazwe. Uhlelo luye lwabhekana nezinguquko eziningi emashumini eminyaka edlule, kanti ezinye izinguquko ezithakazelisayo kakhulu zenzeke kule minyaka eyishumi edlule.
Umlando Omncane
Uhlelo lwesidlo sasesikoleni lunikeza kokubili ukudla nokusiza ngokwezimali ezikoleni ezithatha iqhaza. Izingane ezifanelekile zingathola ukudla mahhala noma ngenani elincishisiwe ukusiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ngisho nemindeni engakwazi ukuyikhokhela ingaba nokudla okusetshenziselwa izingane zabo phakathi nosuku lwesikole.
Ngokusho kwe-USDA, ukudla "okunokulinganisela kokudla" futhi ukuhlangabezana nezindinganiso ezibekwe kwizinkombandlela zokudla kwe-US. Ukudla kuklanyelwe ukuhlangabezana nezinhloso ezifanele iminyaka eyi-calories kanye nezakhi ezibalulekile ezifana ne-calcium ne-vitamin D.
Ukudla kufanele kuqukethe inani elilinganiselwe lamafutha angenampilo kanye ne-sodium, kodwa naphezu kwalemigomo yokuzimisela, iningi leminikelo yokudla yasesikoleni yenziwa ngokudla okucutshungulwa kakhulu okungenayo into enomsoco.
Lokhu kudla okuqinisekisiwe akusizi ezishibhile noma, kubiza phezulu kwe $ 11.5 billion ngonyaka wokugcina obikiwe ngonyaka ka-2012.
I-Obama Administration
Imizamo eyenziwe ekwenzeni ukudla kwasekuseni enempilo ibe yinduna futhi inikeze ukudla okuhle kakhulu kosuku kwabanye abantwana. Isevisi yokudla yezinkukhu eziningi zezingane ezingxenyeni ezahlukene zezwe ibangela izinselelo eziningi, kodwa imizamo kazwelonke yokuzithuthukisa yaqala ukufika ngo-2010.
Ngonyaka wezi-2012, ukuphathwa kuka-Obama kufaka izinhlelo zokuqedela ukudla kwasemini esikoleni ukuze zenze impilo kanye nezithako zingaphansi kancane. Ezinye iziqondiso ezithile zomthetho we-Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act zihlanganisa ukunciphisa ushukela namafutha angenampilo kanye nokunciphisa kancane kancane kwe-sodium .
Lezi zinhlelo ezintsha zokudla kwasemini zihlanganisa nokukhulisa ukutholakala kokusanhlamvu okuphelele. Izinkonzo zezinhlamvu eziphelele zithuthelelwe kuma-50 amaphesenti ezinhlamvu ezimelelwe ngenhloso yokugcina umnikelo wokudla wempuphu ophelele.
Lezi zindinganiso ezintsha zifuna ukuthi wonke amathreyi ashiye umugqa wesidlo ngokukhonza izithelo noma imifino ebhodini. Naphezu kwezimpikiswano ezithile mayelana nokunamathiswa kwamatamatisi namafries aseFrance abalwa njengama-veggies (okwenzayo), izikole eziningi zenze imizamo yokwandisa ukutholakala kokudla okunempilo kwabafundi.
Ukuphathwa kweTrump
Ukubuyekeza mayelana nokuphumelela kohlelo lwesidlo sasesikoleni futhi ukuthuthukiswa okwenziwe ngo-2012 kuhlanganisiwe. Abanye bathi iminikelo enempilo enhle ayitholakali kangcono kwabancane kuyilapho abanye bephikisana ngokwanele kwenziwa ukwenza ngcono izinga lokudla.
Ezinsukwini zamuva, umphathi we-Trump usesayine ngisho nezinqubomgomo ezintsha ezenzekayo kulo nyaka wezifundo wezi-2017-2018 ozayo.
Eziningi zalezi zinhlelo zibiza ukuphumula kweminye yokuthuthukiswa esungulwe eMthethweni we-Healthy Hungry-Free Kids Act.
Okucacile kufaka ukuma kwe-sodium yehle futhi ukuvumela amatshe amaningi aphansi ahlotshwe ezikoleni esikhundleni sezinguqulo ezingezona amafutha. Imizamo yokwengeza okusanhlamvu okuphelele kokudla nayo izomiswa.
Ikusasa lesidlo saseSikoleni
Lokho ukuguqulwa kwesidlo esikoleni kusho ukuthinta imindeni yaseMelika nabazali befuna ukuthola ukudla komntwana wabo? Impendulo ayicacile.
Ngokuqinisekile abanye abantwana bazoqhubeka bekhononda nganoma yini enye isidlo sasemini esikhonza. Kodwa, izingane eziningi ezidingayo zingazuza ekudleni okungabizi esikoleni nsuku zonke.
Ochwepheshe bezokudla banokukhathazeka ngokufanele ukuthi imithethonqubo evulekile izovula umnyango wokudla okunengi okucutshungulwa ukuze ungene endlini yokudla kwasemini. Ukubheja okungcono kakhulu kwabazali kungase kube esikhwameni esisundu lapho bengakwazi khona futhi baqhubeke nokufundisa izingane zabo ngokukhetha okunempilo ekhaya langaphambili.
