Bill requiring Healthier Foods in School - Can't wait to hear the food & dairy spin on this one!

HOUSE PLANS DEBATE ON BILL REQUIRING HEALTHIER FOODS IN SCHOOLS By Kyle Cheney STATE HOUSE NEWS SERVICE http://www.statehousenews.com/ STATE HOUSE,

BOSTON, JAN. 25, 2010.....Massachusetts schools would phase out fries in favor of fruit under a proposal the House is scheduled to consider this week. Under a proposal sponsored by 57 members of the House and Senate, state authorities would restrict schools' ability to sell high-calorie, high-fat and high-sodium snacks, a move aimed at curbing childhood obesity. Iterations of the bill have stalled for several sessions, encountering resistance from the grocery lobby and those who have argued nutritional values should be instilled at home and not by government. Under the bill, schools would be encouraged to sell non-fried fruit and vegetables, whole grain products, nonfat or low-fat dairy products, non-carbonated water and juice with no additives. The bill would require plain water to be available to students all day at no cost to the students.
