Ask Congress for Healthier School Meals!

Student activist Nina Gonzalez

More than a third of America’s children are overweight or obese. They are at risk for adult diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Over 30 million kids eat at least one meal at school each day. Most of these meals are high in saturated fat and cholesterol and low in fiber and other key nutrients, and most students cannot choose a healthful, plant-based alternative for their lunch tray. But YOU can help us make change in Washington and in school lunch lines across the country.

Become a Healthy School Lunch Advocate!

Please join us to become a Healthy School Lunch Advocate and ask your Member of Congress to support H.R. 4870, the Healthy School Meals Act of 2010, which makes it easier for schools to offer healthful plant-based options and gives them an incentive to do so. Anyone can be a school lunch advocate!

Want to Do More?
Host a call-in party before or after school for students, parents, and concerned citizens in your area.
