Healthy Soy Food Options Coming to the School Lunch Line

The USDA has recently added more fruits, vegetables and whole grains to the
school menu for millions of school age children in the U.S. The rulings will also

be included alongside already served veggie burgers, chicken-less slices on sandwiches, edamame and soynuts in salads, sloppy joes with soy crumble and soymilk. More details about the changes is available from The Soyfoods Association of North America News Release and these USDA links:
