Urge your Senators to Vote YES on the School Nutrition Amendment to the Farm Bill

Please encourage your Senators to vote “Yes” on the School Nutrition Amendment to the Farm Bill. This historic amendment would limit the sale of sugary drinks and junk food in schools by updating the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s nutrition standards for food and beverages sold out of vending machines, a la carte snacks, and school stores and applying them to the whole campus for the extended school day. The updated national nutrition standards address package sizes, calories, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, sugars, sodium, and nutrient content.

Your Senators need to hear directly from you, their constituent, that you want them to vote “yes” on the amendment to update school nutrition standards. Also, please pass this alert along to interested friends and family. Thank you in advance for your help!
