If you build it, they will eat it. That's the lesson from a new study on the effects of a controversial federal law requiring American public schools to serve healthier lunches.

In contention is the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA), which passed in 2010 and was implemented in 2012. HHFKA has come under fire in recent years, with food companies saying the rules are too strict, students complaining that the food is too gross, and school districts claiming they're losing money because kids aren't buying lunch at school anymore. This new study offers crucial data to help voters and politicians decide whether the standards do indeed need to be changed.
