Policy Priority: Improving Access to Healthy Foods in Schools

by
U.S. Representative giving a speech.

Our work to reauthorize federal child nutrition programs presents a great opportunity to continue improving the way America’s children eat, expand their access to nutritious meals, and end child hunger in our country.

We are never going to make progress on these goals by walking away from successful public policies that benefit vulnerable students or by rolling back evidence-based healthy meal standards that we know improve the health and well-being of our nation’s children.

Any child nutrition reauthorization must improve access to healthy foods in schools and other settings and maintain robust nutrition standards in federal nutrition programs.

Ranking Member Bobby Scott, Committee on Education and the Workforce
