The pizzas, hamburgers and fries will be served again in the dining rooms of the schools by order of the president, Donald Trump, who has just abolished the nutritional standards promoted by former first lady Michelle Obama.

Trump also made that decision on Michelle's birthday, who during his eight years at the White House took several steps to end the problem of childhood obesity.

The new rules will allow schools to reduce the amount of vegetables and fruits that the school menu should include and will make it easier for them to offer more pizzas, hamburgers and fries . In addition, schools may decrease the variety of fresh foods given to students.

The regulations were released today by an agency of the Department of Agriculture whose responsibility is to design the meals that feed almost 30 million students in 99,000 schools.

"Schools and school districts continue to tell us that there is still too much food waste and that more flexibility is needed to provide students with nutritious and appetizing meals. We have listened to them and got to work," said the Secretary of Agriculture, Sony Perdue, in a statement.

The new rules were rejected by groups concerned with children's nutrition such as the "Association for a Healthier America," which Michelle Obama chairs honorably.

In a statement, its director, Nancy E. Roman, said the regulations are "a step in the wrong direction" and considered that, "putting politics aside, science has shown that the consumption of fruits and vegetables should be increased "for its favorable effect on health, especially for minors.

Meanwhile, other groups, such as the National Potato Council, celebrated the new regulations .

The National Potato Council, a pressure group to boost the consumption of that food, said on Twitter that this product contains the amounts of protein, fiber and carbohydrates that "school-age children need for success in their schools."

Since arriving at the White House in January 2017, Trump has relaxed school nutrition standards.

For example, in 2019, the Department of Agriculture softened some rules that force schools to have skim milk available for those students who request it.

In the US, more than a third of adults and approximately 18% of people between 2 and 19 are obese, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
