Answer:

The law you are referring to is the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, also known as the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act. This legislation amended and reauthorized the National School Lunch Act and other federal child nutrition programs. It includes provisions that require schools participating in the National School Lunch Program to develop and implement a school-wide wellness policy that addresses physical activity and nutrition. The goal of the wellness policy is to promote the health and well-being of students by providing healthy food options and opportunities for physical activity. The Act also established new nutrition standards for foods and beverages sold in schools, including vending machines, a la carte items, and school stores, in an effort to ensure that students have access to healthier food choices.
