2014 K-12 Census: Breakfast regs causing fewer problems than lunch

New breakfast regulations are easier to meet and are causing fewer negative student reactions than last year's lunch ones. That's borne out by statistics that show participation for the morning meal holding steady in the past two years. This year's K-12 Census Report also looks at the cost per meal, participation levels and the new competitive foods rules.

Forty-five percent of operators reported that their subsidies have increased in the past year, up from last year’s survey, in which only 26% saw an increase.

Other highlights in our 2014 Hospital Census include an increase in patient and retail meal counts.

Gluten-free menu items to increase and a look at local sourcing also included in the 2014 College and University Census.
