The station contacted districts across Texas to see how each is handling the program.
Richardson ISD’s spokesperson says, “students there probably didn’t even know that new regulations were in place, because the district ‘had already implemented healthier lunch choices and ingredients.’ Source: CBS/KRLD

Can’t survive on $7.25! That was the chant of fast food workers on strike today outside some Dallas-area McDonalds and Wendy’s stores. A group of fast-food employees are speaking out in an effort to raise minimum wage to $15 an hour and for the right to organize labor unions with impunity. I drove past multiple fast food restaurants in the Lake Highlands and White Rock areas this morning — Two McDonalds, Wendy’s, Jack … but saw nary a protest. Source: NBC
