New federal school cafeteria recipes designed to support first lady Michelle Obama’s health mandate don’t meet the government’s demands for colorful veggies, low salt and low sugar foods and are being widely rejected because they aren’t “student friendly,” according to a survey of school nutrition professionals.

The School Nutrition Association found that especially large school systems, representing 54 percent of all students, rejected the Agriculture Department’s 226 specially designed recipes because they didn’t meet “the trends of today,” clashed with “cultural diversity” and “are not current with today’s trends.”
