School lunches are set to get saltier, sweeter and less nutritious following a new rule from the US Department of Agriculture Wednesday.

The USDA’s School Meal Flexibility Rule cuts schools slack on several nutritional requirements implemented under the Obama administration.

Schools will have more leeway to serve students refined grains, sodium-rich and sweetened foods, which the new rule says will reduce wasted food thrown out by students who do not like their healthier lunches.

Research has shown less waste in schools after healthier lunches were introduced, and experts are concerned that students’ health and school performances could suffer due to the changes.
