Tell Schools: Get Better Food

Tell Schools: Get Better Food

The Issue

We must change the school lunch program.  One of America's top health problems is being overweight and obese.  This problem starts here, the school.  We are feeding the children high-calorie and fattening foods everyday. 

A study shows that those kids that eat school lunches have a 38.2% chance to be overweight or obese compared to the 24.7% chance of the kids who bring lunch from home. This means that children that eat school lunches have a 13.5% greater chance to be overweight or obese!  Another study shows that kids that eat school lunches had higher levels of LDL "bad" cholesterol.

For this and future generations, we need to get better school lunch programs!
