Hearings on Child Nutrition Act Wednesday

The USDA has set up a series of "listening sessions" in preparation for reauthorizing the 2009 Child Nutrition Act. The Act, among other things, helps determine school food policy and resources granted to lunch programs. A listening session scheduled tomorrow afternoon from 1-4 p.m. at the department's Food and Nutrition Services Office (77 W. Jackson, 20th floor, room 1331) is your opportunity to let your voice be heard — we're assuming it's the USDA doing the listening — and make your opinions on how our children are fed during school hours known. You'll also be helping out the Healthy Schools Campaign. RSVP here. [The Stew]
