The report covers the availability of food (outside of school lunches) and opportunities for physical exercise in public elementary schools. It includes new findings on the types of food sold in schools; the types of food dispensed by vending machines and school stores or snack bars, and the times when foods are available at those locations; food service operations and contracts with companies to sell food at schools; the amount of scheduled recess and physical education; and the extent to which schools assess students’  height, weight and body mass.
