 Ensuring that meals offered through school breakfast and lunch programs meet healthful standards.
 Adopting policies that require all foods and beverages available on school campuses and at school events to contribute toward eating patterns that are consistent with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
 Providing food options that are low in fat, calories, and added sugars.
 Ensuring that healthful snacks and foods are provided in vending machines, school stores, and other venues.
 Prohibiting access to vending machines that compete with healthful school meals in elementary schools, and restricting access in middle, junior, and high schools.
