We need your help to provide good nutrition for all children at school. Please contact your state Representative today and urge him/her to express their strong support for the School Nutrition bill (H. 4376) to Chairman DeLeo and Speaker DiMasi and encourage that the bill come to a vote on the floor of the House.

H. 4376,   “An Act to Promote Proper Nutrition,” would direct the Department of Public Health (DPH) to establish nutrition standards for snacks and beverages sold in vending machines, school stores, and cafeteria a la carte lines. These standards would be in accordance with Institute of Medicine guidelines, which recommend that sodas be replaced with water, low- and non-fat milk, and juice; fat and sugar be reduced in snacks; and fresh fruits and vegetables be made more available in cafeterias.

Thank you in advance for your support.
