Hinrichs, Peter. "The Effects of the National School Lunch Program on Education and Health." Journal of Policy Analysis and Management 29.3 (2010): 479-505. Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company. Web. 1 Nov. 2010.
I found this article very useful to my research; I am now more focused on obesity caused by unhealthy food at school and this article provides a background of the National School Lunch Program. In addition, the effects of the program on people’s health are discussed based on an experiment. The results suggest that NSLP promote children to attend school but displace food consumption from other sources. Hinrichs uses tables, charts, and specific facts to provide his experimental paper with immense credibility.

Counihan, Carole M. "Female Identity, Food, and Power in Contemporary Florence." Anthropological Quarterly. 61 (1988): 51-62. Print.
In her article Counihan argues that the power women have obtained from providing meals to their family provides them with the ability of whether or not their children are healthy. If a child watches and learns that her mother is eating healthy, she will easily pick up on those habits. This article is relevant to my research as a challenge to my argument (that bad school lunches are to blame for overweight children). Counihan displays her credibility by begin published in the Journal Anthropological Quarterly.

Robinson-O'Brien, Ramona, Teri Burgess-Champoux, Jess HainesJ, Peter J. Hannan, and Dianne Neumark-Sztainer. "Associations Between School Meals Offered Through the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program and Fruit and Vegetable Intake Among Ethnically Diverse, Low-Income Children." Journal of School Health 80.10 (2010): 487-92. EBSCOhost. Web. 1 Nov. 2010.
The authors of this article provide a study that test fruit and vegetable consumption and the effects of school lunch and breakfast programs on students from grades one through twelve. The study showed that eighty percent of children do not consume the necessary amount of fruits and vegetables. This article is relevant to my research by providing insight to the choices children are making at school no matter what healthy options are present. The credibility of this article is present by providing specific data and using the scientific method to conduct the experiment.

Henderson, Kathryn E., Long, Michael W., Schwartz, Marlene B. “Evaluating the Impact of a Connecticut Program to Reduce Availability of Unhealthy Competitive Food in Schools.” Journal of School Health 80.10 (2010): 478-486. EBSCOhost. Web. 1 Nov. 2010.
The authors of this article evaluated the outcome of the Connecticut's Healthy Food Certification program. This program gives incentives to schools to adhere to nutrition policies for any food being sold inside and outside the cafeteria. The results showed that this program worked extremely well. This article is useful to my research by providing ideas to improve upon the poor nutrition within schools. This source is credible in that it uses clear and concise charts and tables for the data collected and provides exceptional explanations of the research and evaluations being conducted.
