The states accused the U.S. Department of Agriculture of ignoring federal dietary guidelines and scientific research on children's nutrition when it eased rules championed by former first lady Michelle Obama to make school meals healthier.
"The Trump administration has undermined key health benefits for our children . . . with deliberate disregard for science, expert opinion, and the law," New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.The changes announced last Dec. 6 affect the federally funded National School Lunch Program, which was started by President Harry Truman in 1946 and feeds more than 30 million, mostly lower-income children.
The changes included cutting in half the amount of whole grains required to be served starting in the 2019-20 school year, affording schools more flexibility to offer noodles, tortillas and other foods containing mainly refined grains. Perdue has said his agency was committed to nutritious meals in schools, but the changes acknowledged the"challenges" that schools face serving appetizing yet healthy meals, while ensuring that food would not be wasted.The new rules set aside requirements under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, which Michelle Obama had supported in her fight against child obesity.
Poor kids were literally starving themselves rather than have to eat the crap they were being force-fed by the government under former President Barack Hussein Obama. Liberalism is cancer.
States can pass their own laws. I know Federalism is hard, but come on.
Why don’t we stop funding it and allow each state to do what they want with their money?
Teams visit the Whitehouse and get served happy meals.
Trump has his hands in everything he knows nothing about, or cares about. This is about business once again. American children are being sacrificed in order to ease the burden for businesses involved. He don't care about you, me or anyone else outside his circle. Here's Proof!!
Did anyone mention the local counties can fix whatever lunch they want as long as meets the minimum requirements? If they want to serve tofurkey what’s stopping them?
healthy? worry about their education democrats rolled back on.
The Trump want our children to eat like him fast food breakfast lunch and dinner. Don't think so.
Because those schools are just dying to feed those kids unhealthy lunches.
Does he want everyone to eat burgers all the time like him
