Today at 1 PM EST, NPR's Kojo Nnamdi Show will be broadcasting a feature on school meals and how they can become healthier.

Here's the synopsis:

School districts across our region are looking for ways to improve the quality of food served at lunch (and sometimes breakfast). But they're confronting a lot of tricky challenges, like covering the cost of fruits and vegetables during the recession or sourcing food from more local farmers. From the farm field to cafeteria tray, we examine the challenge of feeding healthy food to our region's students.

Guests: Andrea Northup, Coordinator, DC Farm to School Network, Capital Area Food Bank Penny McConnell, Director, Food and Nutrition Services, Fairfax County Public Schools

We'll be sure to cover it after it airs by providing a summary, but we also wanted to give you a chance to listen to it live.
