Abstract: A sample of 849 Washington school children showed the National School Lunch Program to be increasing intakes of some nutrients for children receiving free lunches. Liquid assets and school breakfast participation influenced intakes of some nutrients while current income had little impact. The effects of food stamps are inconclusive.
