" A study done by
Harvard School of Public Health discovered that about 60 percent of vegetables and roughly 40 percent of fresh fruit in schools are thrown away due to no interest.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthy,_Hunger-Free_Kids_Act_of_2010#cite_note-:0-23][23][/url] A
University of Vermont study found that the amount of food students did not eat but threw away instead increased by 56 percent after the implementation of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act."
"Higher costs and loss of revenue were among the criticism that the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 faced. With the act changing the nutritional requirements of the
National School Lunch Program, schools would need to pay more in order to meet them a concern brought up by a professor at the
University of Illinois in 2014.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthy,_Hunger-Free_Kids_Act_of_2010#cite_note-:12-28][28][/url] Additionally, if more students were to opt out of the program due to a dislike of the new standards, this would result in less meals being sold, thereby leading to a loss of money.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthy,_Hunger-Free_Kids_Act_of_2010#cite_note-:12-28][28][/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthy,_Hunger-Free_Kids_Act_of_2010#cite_note-:22-29][29][/url]
CBS News and the
National Library of Medicine (NLM) bring up similar concerns, where several superintendents and schools stated that their districts had a drop in lunch sales within a year of the act's implementation.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthy,_Hunger-Free_Kids_Act_of_2010#cite_note-:32-30][30][/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthy,_Hunger-Free_Kids_Act_of_2010#cite_note-:4-31][31][/url] Some districts lost $30,000, or a 10-12% drop in comparison to the previous year, while others lost $30,000 in the first three months following the new changes"
