College does. High school should.

Stevenash no they didn't back in 1997. I'm thinking now 2016 there should be some sort of meal plan guide kids could follow. Eating McDonalds, Dairy Queen, Sonic, and Whataburger all the time doesn't seem like a good idea.

You don't think the gas station stops are part of a healthy eating plan for athletes?

It can't get any better than school cafeteria food.

Most HS coaches do speak to their kids about nutrition. The cut backs they have made by law in the cafeteria is not helping kids either.

they do but it doesnt matter....half the kids still eat bags of chips and cokes for breakfast. When a kid is good enough to play at the next level you see them come back around town Christmas after their first semester they have put on 30-40 pounds of solidness and look great...they are no longer eating crap for meals
