Closing high-school campuses during lunchtime and serving free meals to all students has increased meal participation in California -- and nationwide. "Kids could be eating a good meal for free," said Ellen Braff-Guajardo, senior nutrition policy advocate for California Food Policy Advocates. "Or they could be running off campus, and in a hurry, and maybe if they don't have too much money in their pocket, they're going to buy the Flamin' Hot Cheetos and a Coke," she added.

The School Nutrition LinkedIn group is an open group, allowing anyone to cast their vote in the poll and participate in the group's discussions without the need to join the group. Once casting a vote, one can continuously follow the voting process.

Casting a vote will let the School Nutrition Association and other influential organizations with a "voice from the public" about this debated issue.
