Why are Smart Snacks Important?

1) Almost a quarter of kids' daily calories may come from snacks.

2) Kids who have healthy eating patterns are more likely to perform better academically.

3) Kids consume more healthy foods and beverages during the school day. When Smart Snacks are available, the health choice is the easy choice.

4) Smart Snacks Standards are a Federal requirement for all foods sold outside the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.
