The United States government enacted the National School Lunch Act of 1946 in response to concerns about malnourishment among children. Specifically, the act was brought into place due to concerns about the poor nutritional health of young people that had become evident during World War II, as many young men were being rejected for military service due to nutritional deficiencies. The act established the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), which provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children at school.
