“If the USDA’s latest proposal is formally adopted, it would lower some requirements on the volume and variety of fruits and vegetables offered to students.” Nothing a more egregious example of putting corporate profits before people’s well-being. Write in!google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com…

A country that can afford a $738 billion defense budget but will not ensure its school children a more healthy diet is a country whose moral values are spiraling down and whose future health care costs will be spiraling up.

Take a stand for higher nutritional standards for America’s school lunches. Otherwise the standards are being lowered, and the health and productivity of our children will suffer. Email feedback@usda.gov.

Our Sect’y of Agriculture is Sonny Perdue; the USDA calls the shots re school lunches. If you think it seriously wrong that the Secretary of Agriculture would be arguing for FEWER fruits and vegetables, you’re absolutely right. The Sec of Ag is basically an agribusiness lobbyist.

I don’t buy it. This is a country that abolished slavery, gave women the right to vote, and dismantled segregation. This is not the first time we’ve had to fight off evil and challenge injustice. Cynicism is just an excuse for not helping.

Kids arent eating it, they’re throwing it away. More nutritious garbage isn’t the same thing as a more nutritious diet. Also lol at nutcases who demonize Trump and his voters over nutritious value of school lunches.

Why aren’t we raising standards on deliciousness?

Let the school district and the lunch ladies feed the kids. Butt out. What’s the fed’s special expertise in legislating kid’s lunches?

Studies show link to higher test scores, better behavior when school lunches are healthier. Some articles, with citations: outsideonline.com/2057151/wh… foodrevolution.org/blog/scho…
