Urge Congress to Include Vegetarian Options in School Lunches

You can help 30 million American students eat healthier school lunches. It’s simple. Ask Congress to change the Child Nutrition Act to help schools provide students more vegetables, fruits, vegetarian foods, and healthful nondairy beverages.

Each school day, millions of children eat greasy, unhealthy meals served in the over 100,000 schools and institutions participating in the National School Lunch Program, which is regulated by the Child Nutrition Act. Foods like these have helped drive childhood obesity to record levels. Healthful vegetarian options, which are low in fat and cholesterol, could help reverse this epidemic.

Urge Congress to include vegetarian options in school lunches: Please contact your state's U.S. representative; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi; Reps. George Miller and Lynn Woolsey, members of the House Education and Labor Committee; and Sen. Blanche Lincoln, chair of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry; who all have jurisdiction over the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2009.
