Stop junk food ads in schools!
The last thing our kids need is to be exposed to junk food ads in school! We've got less than one week to send a message to USDA: If a food or beverage isn’t healthy enough to be sold in school, it shouldn’t be marketed in schools!
Why is this important?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently unveiled proposed updates for local school wellness policies.
As part of that proposal, only foods and beverages that meet USDA’s new Smart Snacks nutrition standards could be marketed in schools. USDA is currently accepting comments on the proposal, but the comment period ends on April 28, less than a week away! Take action NOW and tell the USDA you support the proposal.
