"Chicago public school students can say "adios" to their cheese-drenched nachos next year. School officials announced tighter nutritional guidelines Thursday to promote healthier eating, and to respond to student demands for more appetizing fare. Two weeks ago, a group of Chicago high school students told the school board that they were sick and tired of the "sickening" fare offered at their cafeterias. The group refuted the argument that lunch ladies could only get students to eat gloppy nachos, greasy pizzas, and soggy french fries.The result? The new nutritional rules outlined Thursday are designed to meet or exceed the "gold" USDA's Healthier U.S. Schools Challenge."
