“A food bill we need”

Voices applauds First Lady Michelle Obama for her “Let’s Move!” campaign, an initiative started this year to promote healthy activity in children and combat the duel threat of obesity and hunger.  I highly recommend her recent op-ed in the Washington Post on the importance of child nutrition legislation:

“It will set higher nutritional standards for school meals by requiring more fruits, vegetables and whole grains while reducing fat and salt. It will offer rewards to schools that meet those standards. And it will help eliminate junk food from vending machines and a la carte lines — a major step that is supported by parents, health-experts, and many in the food and beverage industry.”
