  we need more veg options in schools

  As a parent, I want to see more vegetarian/vegan options in schools. All children would benefit from these healthy options. When Congress renews the Child Nutrition Act it must encourage schools to serve healthier meals.  Low-fat, cholesterol-free vegetarian foods need to be more affordable, and schools that serve nutritious foods (fruits, vegetables, vegetarian options) should receive additional funding. There's a group of doctors trying to get more vegetarian foods in the school lunch program. You can sign their petition at www.HealthySchoolLunches.org

  healthy school lunches

  American children are facing some scary health statistics. More and more children are becoming obese and/or developing type 2 diabetes. School lunch lines aren't helping. Too many kids still face unhealthy choices in the cafeteria. When Congress renews the Child Nutrition Act it must encourage schools to serve healthier meals.  Low-fat, low-cholesterol vegetarian foods need to be more affordable, and schools that serve nutritious foods (fruits, vegetables, vegetarian options) should receive additional funding. This is one important step forward in protecting our children's health now and for the future.
