Support Healthy Food in Schools
Healthy Food in Schools moves to the Senate Education Committee this week. Let your Senator know you stand with the 77% of SC parents that support strong nutrition standards for school meals.
Ask your Senator to support S.484, the Healthy Food in Schools bill. S.484 will help schools, parents and communities play an active role in school nutrition and healthy choices for students. The bill will:
• Ensure schools are meeting nutritional standards set by the USDA and that standards are regularly updated with the USDA guidelines
• Help the community understand how schools are meeting nutrition standards by reporting compliance in existing school health improvement plans
Creating a healthy school food environment is critically important in S.C. which has the 2nd highest obesity rate for youth ages 10-17. Contact your Senator now
