To Mayor de Blasio and Chancellor Carranza:

People come from all around the world to eat in New York. Our city is fortunate to have extensive access to the freshest, healthiest foods available anywhere, yet our own children are being fed high-fat, high-carbohydrate processed meals on a daily basis in our public schools.

Rates of childhood obesity and diabetes continue to rise at record levels in our city and it’s time for the Department of Education and the Mayor's Office to do something about it.

As a parent of a child/children in NYC public school, I demand that you make school lunches healthier. New Yorkers look out for each other and it’s time for you to do more to protect the health of our kids.
