...schools served about 5 billion lunches last year with an average price tag of $2.58 per meal. That cost will likely jump $0.30 - or 12% - per meal in the coming year, SNA estimates, or about $1.5 billion nationwide. Most schools already lose money on free or reduced-price lunch and breakfast programs; nearly 18 million students qualify for these meals, which are subsidized by the federal government, but at a rate far below the actual cost of providing the food.

But kids can also improvise games--balloon volleyball in the rec room, beach-ball tag in the backyard. The point is to move...
...Start Young Get kids moving with games of tag or hide-and-seek. And for tinier tots? Easy, says Dr. Edward Laskowski, co-director of Sports Medicine at Mayo Clinic. Ask them to run like a gorilla, walk like a spider, hop like a bunny or stretch like a cat. Just try to get them to stop...
