Montana Ag Network: School trades processed foods for nutrition to boost brain health

JUDITH GAP – In a small town of just over 20 students, one Montana school is making big changes to how it serves meals and its mission.

In Wheatland County, Judith Gap School District has eliminated processed foods, added sugars, seed oils, and high-fructose corn syrup from its breakfast and lunch menus at the start of the year in an effort to boost both physical and cognitive development in students from pre-K through 12th grade.
