Daytime Host and Author Rachael Ray to Join Lawmakers to Unveil New Legislation to Put Children on a Path to a Healthier Future
On Thursday, June 10 at 11:00am Eastern, Chairman George Miller and Reps. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Healthy Families and Communities, Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Jim McGovern (D-MA), and Todd Russell Platts (R-PA) will unveil the details of new legislation to dramatically improve the quality of meals children eat both in and out of school and in child care settings, support community efforts to reduce childhood hunger and, for the first time, establish nutrition standards for all foods sold in schools.
The lawmakers will be joined by daytime host, author and child nutrition advocate Rachael Ray and anti-hunger and child nutrition advocates.
The “Improving Nutrition for America’s Children Act” mirrors key investments proposed by President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama in her “Let’s Move” initiative, including reducing childhood obesity, improving school wellness, implementing new school food safety guidelines, and supporting public and private partnerships to improve child nutrition.
