Citizens Rally to Improve the Federal School Lunch Program
Finally people are taking action to provide healthy milk alternatives in school lunches! I wish they would have done that when I was still in school!
Care2 petition site is collecting signatures nationwide to support a request that the Child Nutrition Act of 2010 include non-dairy alternatives for children that suffering from milk allergies or lactose intolerance.
The petition notes that since school lunches are a significant source of nutrition for our nation’s children, they should be offered options that are easily digestible. Care2 states that, “Cows’ milk is the largest source of artery-clogging saturated fats in children’s diets, causes over half the cases of juvenile iron deficiency anemia and is the #1 allergic food in the country.
