A recent study conducted by the USDA's Economic Research Service found that state universal free school meal policies reduced food insufficiency among children in the 2022-2023 school year. The study compared rates of food insufficiency among school-aged children in states that extended universal free meals to those that did not. It found that the incidence of food insufficiency was 1.5 percentage points higher in states that did not extend universal free meals, representing a 9.8% increase in the food insufficiency rate. This increase was driven by school-aged children in households with incomes just above the eligibility threshold for free and reduced-price school meals. The study suggests that universal free meals may have a greater impact on children in this income group, as they may be ineligible for other food and nutrition assistance programs. Since November 2022, more states have adopted universal free meals statewide, and others are considering legislation to do the same. [Extracted from the article]

FEATURES It might sound slightly blasphemous to visit Spain, the land of paella, pan con tomate, and patatas bravas, and choose to dine on miso soup with a side of algae.

The researchers concluded that consuming "dairy foods, particularly yogurt", might help curb the diabetes epidemic, and noted that the benefits of ice cream had elsewhere been written off as a product of reverse causation. If that's true, then admitting to eating ice cream might correlate with metabolic health - and the ice-cream effect would be, in its way, a marker of fat stigma in America. Given that the ice-cream effect was diminished when they tested their reverse-causation theory, he called it "much more plausible" that yogurt would help prevent diabetes than ice cream. In that scenario, it wouldn't be that ice cream prevented diabetes, but that being at risk of developing diabetes caused people to not eat ice cream. [Extracted from the article]
