LET THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SCHOOL FOOD PROGRAM REMAIN
The proposed cut back of Michelle Obama’s school lunch program by this current administration is shameful and inconsiderate to the life & health of the nation’s children.
The dismantling of the current food program would remove fruits & vegetables from their school food trays and replace it with less healthy options such as pizza and french fries.
Our future generation deserves better than being fed with unhealthy, processed food that is detrimental to their physical, mental and emotional well-being.
Why is this important?
This decision would affect less affluent neighborhoods and schools and the majority of our children would suffer. Many children in our schools depend on receiving a healthy meal in school considering it may be the only meal they will eat on a daily basis.
If food waste is the predominant factor or concern for dismantling the program, consider giving the students an additional 15 minutes to their mealtime. This affords them time to settle down and enjoy their meal.
