NightSide - School Lunches

BOSTON (CBS) - School lunches have become a political battleground, after First Lady Michelle Obama decided to focus much of her time and influence on fighting childhood obesity. New federal restrictions are requiring school lunches to be healthier than the typical pizza, chicken nuggets, and fries that have become so common across the country. But kids aren't exactly embracing the change, and a number of schools have decided to forfeit the federal money in order to not be bound by the tighter restrictions. Should the government and public schools be worried about kids eating healthy? Or do they have bigger fish to fry? Harvard Research Associate Juliana Cohen joins NightSide to talk about the issue.
