Every five years the Child Nutrition Forum (diverse group of organizations) along with the Food Research and Action Center come together during child nutrition reauthorization to help create legislation that promotes access to healthy food for all children. The producers of the movie Food, Inc. and their supporters have put together a petition for the public to sign that would express public interest in healthy food choices in schools.

 

 

The following is a quote from the Food, Inc. website about the petition: 

"We believe that federally funded nutrition programs should provide all children with the healthy food they deserve. This includes low fat and safe dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Schools should be soda and junk-food-free zones and serve food that complements and furthers parents' efforts to feed their children healthfully."
