MIAMI — Former President Bill Clinton has announced an agreement with leading food manufacturers to provide healthier school lunch options.
Clinton told Miami school students on Friday that seven companies have agreed to increase the sale of foods that meet science-based nutrition standards by 50 percent within five years. The manufacturers also agreed to set prices that are no higher than less-healthy choices.
Clinton's foundation is a member of the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, an organization that aims to reduce childhood obesity.
The pact is expected to provide healthier options for more than 30 million students nationwide, including 14 million in the free and reduced-price lunch program.
The agreement comes a day after Wal-Mart announced it would make thousands of products healthier by reformulating them and pushing suppliers to do the same.

Within them is discussed what comprises safe amounts, combinations and types of protein, carbohydrates and fats along with required micronutrients. A healthy diet is absolutely essential to avoid preventable diseases. Type II diabetes in children, an utterly preventable disease, is triggered by a top heavy diet laden with protein derived from red meat. When combined with improper carhydrate comprising French fries and swigged down by soda-pop... such is a recipe for disaster.Adult onset diabetes is mostly preventable as are many other diseases. A healthy diet is paramount to maintaining a health body and mind. Such diets should be taught in all schools and the earlier the better.. all the way through high school. However, a healthy diet does not include Atkins which has been determined to be dangerous.
